If you expect reliability as a regular driver, I suggest an aluminum block Chevy small block for that level of horse power. To get that from 215 CI, you would need 11-1 compression, $1500.00 worth of

Any of the Rover rear wheel drive autos should bolt up. You will need the Rover flex plate. Might check with D & D. Dan has mated many GM tranies such as the 700r. Jim Stuart The little air-cooled GM

The 215 & 4.6 have the same mounting bosses & the external block & head dimensions are the same, so should be a bolt in. You would not want to use 215 heads on a 4.6, smaller valves smaller diameter

The 215 is not a perfect fit, but is very possible, as is a Rover sump on a 215. On each, the length of the oil pick up is different, so you must use a Rover pick up with a Rover pan, Buick pick up

For straight dependability, it is hard to beat a single points distributor. For performance, electronic is the answer. A good compromise is a Pertronics conversion with a stock points base plate in t

We strive to keep the top of the carb level. This puts the engine at an angletake a close look at the intake manifold. Some bit of variance is OK. Before you bolt everything down & walk away, check

Not sure what the differences are, but the earlier engine had a distributor, at least through 1994. Later engines had some form of crank fire & no distributor. The later front covers are shorter fro

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

You may need a new mechanic, or a new source of parts. If this is like the early Buick 215 V8, & I think it is, there is not a proper seal, just a gasket. Easy to make, cheap to buy. I have a few sp

I am assuming that you are using the original 3 or 4 speed since you want to retain the 10 spline center. You might try D & D for a disk. Dan has lots of the old 215 stuff. A second way to go is to
