Buick v8
Hi Nick
The model was an aluminium V8. Just found this on the inter-web.
Aluminum V8
The Oldsmobile/Buick 215 V8 was a small 215 in³ aluminum engine for midsize cars of the 1960s. It was introduced in the 1961 Buick Special, Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 (where it was called the Rockette), and Pontiac Tempest and retired by General Motors just three years later due to high production costs.
The tooling was sold to Britain's Rover Group, and this Rover V8 engine saw widespread use by many manufacturers. This engine was the basis for a 198 in³ V6 which, after being sold to and bought back from Jeep in the 1970s, became the current GM 3800 engine.
Hope this is of help and answers your question.
Regards Huzey.

Hello again.
Sorry but have absolutely no idea about wether the buick will bolt straight in. I suppose it all depends wether land rover made the bell housing to fit the engine or the engine to fit the bell housing and all the other bits and pieces and ancilliaries etc, if that makes sense??I would be interested to know how you get on though.
Kindest regards
