  I'm currently right in the middle of this swap into my '66.  It's tight but 
it fits, there are quite a few custom jobs I'm in for in the next few months 
though...From the research I've done I'm estimating conservatively 240-250hp 
from the Buick 215 I pulled from a '62 Buick Special and the Rover SD1 heads 
combo, ported/polished head, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock 500cfm 4bbl etc.  The 
best thing about this engine is a 318lb dry weight, pretty close to the stock 
Roadster engine weight and it sits in about the same place as the Roadster 
motor.  I"m getting a website together to post the pictures of the install 
process.  
  Now that the weather is getting so nice here in So.Cal. I'm going nuts not 
being able to drive it.
