I have purchased a Rover 4.2 EFI for my 1980 MGB. I have 215 that I was
going to use, but I ran across a good deal on the 4.2 EFI. I am trying to
finish it before the 3/2001 MGB V8 meet in Sebring. I have not as figured
out how I will fit a T5 to the Rover. Has anyone done this? Has anyone
upgraded their gauges to VDO gauges?

Interested in the efi.

Don't try to build a big 215, too expensive. Cheap is a Buick 300, nice is a
big Rover, 4.2 or 4.6. Early front covers work on the 4.2, as do all the
other 215 parts. Same for the 4.6, but I don't know about the front cover.
Trans or bell housing needs a 3/8" spacer with the Rover engine.
