    c - any Land Rover mechanic


    the 1961-63 215ci Buick is the progenitor of the 1966-2004 Land Rover engine as well as the Buick cast iron small blocks ( your engine is, as i'm sure you know, all aluminum ), 300, 340 and 350. the Brits, of course, did it in metric and call it a 3.5L, although they have variants commonly available which go up to 4.6L and specialty applications which go up to 5.0


    the Buick 90 degree v6 engine family is based off of their small block v8 design and is another source that you can get things like oil pumps and water pumps from.

    different application oil housings have different clocking, so people will pick and choose which one they want depending on the space they have.


    i'm sure the water pump used various shaft lengths over the years, so you'll have to be careful how that lines up with the other pulleys you've got. or you could just switch over to a serpentine arrangement + accessories off of the front of a more modern Rover.
