All the Rover engines except the Australian 4.4L share the same deck height as the 215 Buick. Dan Jones has a page with deck height and other useful specifications at:
[www.leylandp76.com]

Here is also a link to a page with most of the available intakes:
[www.mez.co.uk]

Hope that helps,

JB

Rob, The quick answer is 8.960" std., or .06" shorter than sbc. This makes a lot of high value sbc rods/pistons viable. I need the port dimensions of the John Eales , Webber DCOE manifolds,(swan neck and cross ram). These could be modded to use TPI. Tell us about your planned build. I ordered my TA heads back in September, "should" receive mid Jan. Good Luck, roverman.
