found the last part
1913-1917 For a list of the models and prices see the 1917 Red Book. Sales via London and Parisian Motor Co.

Post War: The Coventry works were adapted to general engineering.

1920 The works were engaged in quantity production of motor engines and gears[3]

1920 See Hotchkiss: 1920.

1923 Morris purchased the works of Hotchkiss et Cie, Coventry, who had been supplying it with engines and gear-boxes since 1920.

1951 Exhibitor at the 1951 Motor Show in the Car Section.

so all where part of the early morris cars set up

ok this is about an engine
the engine was in several cars
tr8 , MGB GT , stag , ect and is still used to day but in a bigger cc

this in 4 parts

so part 1 name the engine and cc

part 2 what was the typical carberation for the engine

part 3 what was the performace up grade added by tuners

part 4 where did rover BL and mg origionaly get the design from

parts 1,2 are realy easy if you can get part 4 then part 3 will follow

good luck on this and i know the enginne inside and out it was in my most cherised car and on the forum i posted some of the info over time

Mark - I am NOT a technician, magician, engineer so I am going to give part (I think) of the answer for sombody else to finish

Engine:-

Originally the Buick 215 aluminium V8 (itself a copy of a post war BMW V8 ??.) purchased by Rover in 1965

Developed into Rover 3528cc V8 originally fitted with twin SU's (the original’s were improved over time in design and size including HIF6’s)
(Zenith CD 2S carburettors on a special manifold for Land Rovers originally)
MGB V8 - SU HIF6 twin carburettors

Power upgrades vi S.U., Holley, and EFI solutions – which ones – I haven’t the faintest – when I open the bonnet I have a minor heart attack!!

So - the origin and engine size, where it came from (it did not, orginally, go in the Triumph Stag - that was Triumph's own V8 but did supplant it) - the original carburetion used in MGB GT V8 and MGR V8 (although the engine was developed to 3950cc for the later), Triumph TR8 and the later Triumph Stags.

I will leave sombody else to give "tuning" data and they can win First Prize. :woohoo:

mr forget full well done
the best tuning was to take the inlet manifold from a small block shevvy and use a 4 barrell holly carb
then there was the cams ect but as you got all the info you wone
so over to you

Oh ****** I thought you could at least wait until an "engineer" came along and gave a proper answer. Where are they when you want one. Anyway, thank you Mark so the NEXT QUESTION for the MG Quiz is
