@@trevorkent4749 It had 51’s on the primary side and standard secondary plate/booster/squirter

Never got it on a dyno but it sure sounded good!

Now there's a thought................

I was made an offer that I couldn't refuse.................

How so?

YES,SIR! You‘ve nailed it 100%! InGermany we say: „Hüte dich vor bösen Frau’n und Autos die die Tommys bau’n!“ (Beware of evil women and cars that the tommys build!)😂

They're Junk Motors? You certainly don't know squatt about engines! These Rovers are modified olds 215 V8's! Bought from Gim Rover reinforced the Olds Block & Heads and modified the hell out of it! They are amazing powerplants with press-in sleeves, reinforced bottom ends and stroker cranks! they pt them in Jaguar's, BMW's you name it! and anyone who call these motors "Junk" has no clue as to what a really good motor even is!

@@kennyh5083 In the early-mid 1960's, our SCCA club in Charleston,WV had a 308 porsche with a built 215 Buick engine..It ran C MOD..along side the original lemans GT40 machines..The little Buick engine could not beat a GT 40 at VIR..but it worried the hell out of them..

@@kennyh5083 The 215 was a joint Buick/Oldsmobile design. The Rover version was much closer to the Buick design than the Oldsmobile one, using the same heads and block as the Buick. Even though GM sold the aluminum engine design to Rover, the subsequent small block iron Buick V8s manufactured by Buick through the 1980 model year in 300, 340, and 350 cubic inch displacements shared the same basic block, including the 4.24" bore spacing, as the Buick 215 V8. The Buick V6 also shared the same basic design, just minus two cylinders.

Hi, my videos are to show the conversions that I make.....form a Weber 2 barrel to a dual carb setup to a Holley 600 double pumper fed supercharged setup. The engine shown is just my testbed - it is modified with a Viper cam, Vitesse heads and High Compression and has always run really well with all of them. This manifold will also fit some of the larger capacity Rover V8 engines as well as the 3.5. I have run a 600 on a 3.5 with no problems....as it has vacuum secondaries it only pulled on them when the engine could use it.

Thank you for the explanation🙂

Yes! They can be mounted much lower as shown in another of my videos

I was looking at aluminum dual plane intakes today for the 318. Some are over 5 inches tall while the shortest is around 4.6" How much do you cut an intake down for your custom plate? @@fitduster9472

Hi, I made an adapter plate to take the two Weber set up first and then welded it to a cut down standard SU rover manifold. I would expect this to be easily done using the same method and opening up an aluminium 4 barrel manifold for the 318. Vintage speed make an adapter that bolts to a 4 barrel manifold to take 2 twin chokes....this may be an easier option to modify. Here is the link..... www.parts123.com/parts123/yb.dll?parta~dyndetail~Z5Z5Z50000106a~Z5Z5Z5AABCD~P129.00~~~~S6UY09FDKD81141129818i~Z5Z5Z5~Z5Z5Z50000106a

@@fitduster9472would that method work for a manifold like this in this video.? Uncle Tony's Garage issued a challenge to make a 2 barrel 318 into a 318hp machine. The challenge is he expected people to take the puny bbd 2barrel and make it work. So, check out the intake here and share your recipe for mission impossible 318 th-cam.com/video/bK2Ex3bQ1sQ/w-d-xo.html

Do you have to use a 2 bbl manifold? If not I would go for a good aftermarket 4 bbl manifold that already has good flow and use a 2 bbl adapter with a good Holley on top.

@@fitduster9472 I like Holley carbs. I am trying to stick to the Mission Impossible rules, though those that Uncle Tony invited to join had their own ideas which is why this project never got off the ground. The TBI two barrel in the video has great flow chracteristics. I like the idea of a Weber carb or carbs because of the tunability. The whole ideas was to make as much power with what you had on hand: stock manifold of choice, oem heads, no Magnum series parts. So, the cam would be a stock flat tappet or a roller regrind. The idea of doing this with two Weber 38/38 appeals to me. There are some oem cast iron four barrel intakes that flow as much as an Edelbrock or Holley intake. The key is to put in the time and use oem parts. The carb would be the exception

@@ErinMalczewski no pic attached! please send and I will take a look

HI - I was using a 600cfm double pumper to ensure good fuel delivery and all of the plugs were running clean and same colouring after running.

Hi I was running 18% underdrive on the blower that gave me about 3 pounds of boost. I ran it low as it is a 10:1 engine and no other blower prep was made to it.

Hi, the jets are as they came from a 3.0 Capri....seemed to run very well

Hi - I think they were set at 15psi. I had the blower underdriven to give about 3 psi boost. They certainly worked when I had a misfire!!!

Hi, I have never used one - I only use Mallory distributors.

HI, no....never been on a dyno

They ran really well and gave great everyday performance - each one should flow in the region of 230 cfm so with the pair it did the job.

Blame it on the cherry bombs!! :)

Hi, I haven't tried the avs2 yet....they appear they may be a bit too much with the annular system putting more fuel in. I guess it might be a bit too rich somewhere causing running issues especially low down?

Hi, the front gear cover came with the blower when I got it.....I cleaned it up and had it polished. The snout/drive assembly came from the blower shop in the USA.

Yes - the Rover V8 as fitted to Rover cars, Land Rover and Range Rover.

Off to a new home............

I convert them :)

@@fitduster9472 is it hard to

@@williamwilkinson2337 Some manifolds are easier than others to convert and the early P5 ones are definately a don't do. It is a case of cutting off the carb tower, machining the top of the manifold flat, opening up the inlet throats to suit, sealing the water jacket opening and attaching your choice of adapter plate.!

Offenhauser do one for the 215 cu in. buick.

@@fitduster9472 I just don’t have the time or the money two did it

Hi, have you checked for any vacuum leaks or wear on the throttle shafts of the carb? The 390 seems a bit small (to me) for the 4.6 (280 cu. in.) maybe a 600 may work better or an increase in the jetting on the 390. Have you checked the idle mixture for tickover?

Hi, If I remember it was from John Woolfe Racing in Bedford (possibly via ebay)

@@fitduster9472 Thanks much appreciated

HI - it would have been as standard with 57 jets

HI, you could try Real Steel - I think they still do the stroker kits.
