WANTED: 4.6L Rover block
I am looking for a 4.6L block (wanting to take it out to a 5.0L) or rebuildable core. I would need something near OH or you will have to be willing to ship. I have a Olds 215 motor I can offer in trade if you are in need of one of those. I would prefer a PM if you can help as I should get notification of message (I onlt get on here every couple of weeks). Thanks for any help.

Re: WANTED: 4.6L Rover block
You can also use the 4.0 block since they are identical. The internals determine the displacement from 4.0 to 4.6.

Re: WANTED: 4.6L Rover block
The issue is finding one with good liners.

Re: WANTED: 4.6L Rover block
Because of long-standing issues of "core shift", with the 94mm bore blocks, it's always best to inspect a bare a bare block for cracks in the liners, and/or liners being dropped down from the deck. The safest procedure is to have a block pressure tested, before buying. New oem rplacement blocks are available, but not cheap. Good Luck, roverman.
