Been a bit of a saga, but the new-build 3.9 now nestles comfortably/threateningly in my Rover 3500S.
Carbs still need a fettle, but this was today's start-up.

that is one hell of a nice car! the headrests are incredible, the engine is beautiful! the body reminds me of a Ford Cortina, are they related? I've never seen those cars in the USA. Too bad the steering wheel is on the wrong side?

Rover sold quite a few 3500S's on your side of the pond, Jose. Referred to in the factory as NADA's.... = North American Dollar Area.
The headrests are known coloquially in the classic Rover community as "ET's"....for obvious reasons!
(I'll ignore the Cortina reference).

in spanish Cortina means "curtain" or "drapery", so you can imagine the rest of the jokes.
