I have some generic Marinette diagrams on my website under "marinette" along with some other information that might be of use. I am sure that if you get good photos of your engine, someone will be able to identify it. http://web.me.com/dougmrose/Doug_Roses_Website/Welcome.html

Actually, that was the Buick 215. (0lds had a separate version.) GM sold the rights to Rover who made them for over 30 years. A British 'cottage industry' grew up around putting "Rover" V-8s in a variety of lightweight cars, all of which were decent performers (including the TR-8).

If i'm correct, all you would need is the engine casting number and any good precision engine shop can tell you what you have.
