Mike Alexander's second MGB-V8 conversion sets a very high standard in all respects, including how well he documented his process in photos!

"Buick 215 with Rover 4.0 cylinder heads"

Huh?

Wow, another great article with lots of awesome detail pics! Not sure about those heads, though. ;)

Okay, it's clearly a Rover head. Did he drill 'em out & use the lower row of head bolts or did he put dummy bolt heads on for the stock look?
