not Rover V8 and not American.

I've scanned article from PPC about V8 donors (Aud, BMW, LExus and 1 other) but in B+W and .tif format

Is there any interest from anyone to justify me posting the pages up here?

Yes, though there's nothing out there better than the mighty Rover 3.9 of course.

Yes there is... An even Mightier Rover 4.0L or 4.6L
And if you want to go further, the Awesome 5 litre versions.

none I think - but there were issues with slipped liners and cracked blocks.

this affected engines with the with 94mm bore i.e. cracks developing behind the liner in the aluminium where it is thin . These were the 3.9, 4.0, 4.2, 4.6l engines which were bored out more than the 3.5.
