Recently picked up 5 Buick 215s and 2 Olds 215s. One of the Olds engines is basically a machined block with new everything in boxes ready to assemble. It was set up for a dry sump system, and has all new ARP fasteners, lightened balanced rods, new Egge 20 over pistons, big valve heads with double valve springs, etc. Want to sell that as a complete unit and let someone else deal with it. One of the Buicks is still complete. Take it away for $100. The rest are mostly disassembled and are better sold off in parts, but if someone comes by, they can pick and choose and take what they want....cheap. The rest of the stuff I can package and mail out. Valve covers $20 a set, front covers with oil pumps $40, oil pans, $40, heads $50 a set, rockers assemblies $20 each, cranks, rods, stock pistons, rebuildable blocks. There are 2 barrel intakes, but the 4 barrels have been sold. $15 each and there might even be a 2 barrel carb kicking around. There is a flex plate, and two heavy steel flywheels, but neither of these steel flywheels can be used in a swap without some machine work.... not sure what needs to be done to them, but the guys over on British V8 forum do. Before anyone even asks, no bell housings!! FWIW, the oil pans and the front covers are the most important pieces if you want to do a swap. Pick up a running 4.0 out of a Land Rover, but you can't use the Rover pan or the Rover front cover unless you want to go with no distributor and run megasquirt. Even then, you got not hope of fitting that big oil pan in an MGB. Most people use the older cover and run a regular dizzy. I also have several aftermarket 4 barrel intakes and Holley carbs, but those are going to cost close to what new ones sell for. I also have a dozen or so Rover engines in the back of the garage, so if there is something Rover you need, let me know.

I both hate and am so glad you are so far away. I have always wanted to do naughtiness with a 215.
