[Spridgets] MGB GT Rover V8 Question

[Larry Daniels]

That's a pretty good memory, Herb.  Actually, it was 61 to 63.  The Olds was 
the one with a turbo and it only added 15 hp.  Along with the Buick 300 
big-valve heads, the Buick 300 crank can be machined to work in the 215 and 
will stroke it from 2.8 to 3.4 inches or 262 cubes.

I just bought a package deal of 3 AL V-8s and 2 Rover 5-speeds along with a 
300 crank and 300 heads and a bunch of other extras -- complete stainless 
exhaust, forged pistons, etc.  I bought it to put in my wife's MGB.  Since I 
have extras, does anybody know whether these can be fitted into a Spridget? 
I don't recall hearing of anybody doing it.

If I remember correctly; 60-63 B.(uick) O.(ldsmobile) P(ontiac).

A number of variants used, including a turbo-charged version.

Buick 300 heads fit, providing larger valves.

Same engine as my TR8.
