215 Fan

[mnericcio]

I have been collecting 215 parts for 25 years, finally have one on the engine stand and almost ready to fire. That one will eventually find it's way into a T roadster on Model A rails. Next will be a 4-71 blown motor looking for a front engine dragster or early altered chassis. Not looking to go fast, but think of how light a dragster with a 215 will be! Love these little motors.

have you checked out our historical articles on the 215? and you're aware that the Rover 3.5L is a metric version of the 215? www.AluminumV8.com

Thanks, Bob. Luckily I have most of the library in actual print. Yes, thankfully those Rover guys have kept things going. Without them aftermarket parts would be even more scarce. I don't mind using some of the technology developed for them, but insist on keeping it a Buick block and heads. The first motor going together is all GM and has an Offy 2x2 intake with matching valve covers. It is slated for a roadster project.
