Tim,

	Actually, the Rover V-8 descends from the Buick aluminum V-8 of
the early '60s.  The tooling was sold to Rover, who have used it for years
in the 3500, adn now the Land Rover.  It is also the same engine that was
used in the TR-8.  It's a pretty nice engine.  I have seen one power the
Steve Tamandli E-mod(Is taht correct Jeff?) autocross Fiero.  This one is
poked out to 5 lites, and has a Holley projection EFI system.  That car
flies.  It's kinda like a Formula Atlantic with a Fiero body and a big,
light V-8!  Hey, maybe one of those would fit in a 5KCSTQ?  hehhehheh...
