So why not buy an LS* chevy, they cost less (a whole long engine is about the same as getting a rover block top hat linered) produce about twice the power as standard, can be cheaply tuned, are smaller than the rover and as they have a modern combustion chamber and modern valve gear they can easily get through the emissions.

A mate did that to his race engine. He went to a drill supplier and bought a rifle barrel drill in the size he wanted and ran it into the gallery. He said that quite a bit of material came out, too. He then tapped the holes in the rear of the block and fitted screw-in plugs with Loctite. I think he did the holes to the journals, too just for uniformity.
Cheers,
John
