Can you justify the price!!!!!!!!
I took Moss's catalogue into the restaurant this evening, (Yeh I know but after12 x 12hr days in Russia!!!!!!!) and saw a roller rocker conversion for the V8 for £1750.
I would put a pound to a penny for £1750 there would be zillions or more V8 aficionados out there who for that princely sum would supply me with a very nice complete motor that would benefit me more than a solid roller rocked set.

These are real roller rockers, not just roller tip rockers, they are the same as Kenne Bell rollers, as TA performance bought the rights to what appears to be the KB Buick side of the business,

There have been many interesting rocker set ups developed over the years for the Rover V8. Most of them have utilised pieces originally developed for chevy/ford/chrysler engines. Without doubt the best I have seen is the YT6305 rocker system from Yella Terra. Designed from the outset for the Rover V8 they feature an ally cradle that the rocker shafts sits in. NINE(!) caps hold the shaft in place, 4 bolted all the way through using the original mounting holes in the head, the other five bolting to the cradle itself. The roller tipped arms run on needle bearings themselves as opposed to bushes and are positively located without the use of springs or bushes in between the arms. These are the closest thing you can get to a Jesel valvetrain for the rover engine. As you can see mine are still wrapped at the mo and yet to find their way onto my engine. So what did I pay for them? Well I got a good deal that the current owner of the UK stock may or may not be able to offer again but let's just say I could've bought TWO sets for £1750 and still had enough change to buy a new cam and an inlet etc.. Makes me think whatever Moss have in stock they can't justify £1750 for it.
Nice aren't they?

As the engines listed are the 350, 430 and 455 buick engines no sign of a 215 in there. I'll tka eyour word for it if you say the 350 stuff is comaptible or does it need any mods?

Hello, I had in the past Roller Rockers from Buick 350 modified to fit Rover V8 Heads. You need to use Rover Rocker shafts because Buick 350 uses different valve timing arrangement and rocker shaft pillar position. Other thing Buick 350 Roller rockers are little larger than Rover rockers so you need custom spacers and rocker shaft pillars.
Buick 350 Roller Rockers are not bronze bushed but needle roller bearing type and this rockers are designed to be used with hollow pushrods to supply oil.
