i recently acquired a rover 1976 p6b 3500. now in the process of doing it up.
the reason i am asking these questions is to find out more info. if this has been answered a million time before can someone please post a link to the info, as im struggling to find it.
engine questions are, what exactly is involved in fitting a rover 3.9 serpentine belt rover v8 in place of the 3500, can it be done? or is there an easier option please point me in the right direction.
can you swap crank pulleys over to keep the 3.5 vee belts what else needs swapping.
, can you use a 3.9 cam in a 3500 (rope seal), or is there a better mild cam to be used, if so can some one please let me know of type and brand
also i saw a post about changing the front rope seal to a lip seal, anyone know where that kit can be purchased?
also the 3.5, do you need composite gaskets of can you use multi layer steel ones? the do's and dont's would be much appreciated
thanks in advance
