I believe that the Buick 215 in its Rover incarnation is effectively what was used in the factory MGB-GT V8s.

It is and it was still used in Land Rovers until the early-mid 2000s

I agree, they are much better an more comfortable in a daily driver roll than a 4th gen F-body.

Absolutely. I love the way a 4th gen SS Camaro or T/A looks, but that's it. I hate driving them. A 3rd gen on the other hand...

Never heard of an aluminum block 305. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he used an aluminum Buick 215. That was later sold to Rover and was put in landrovers and TR8s. I could even see an Oldsmobile aluminum 300,due to the similarities to the aluminum 215. Not sure but I think either of those could be close to bolt in using some TR8 MGB GT MGB GT V8 and rover parts.

Going off memories from 30+ years ago. What I can confirm is that they were v8, aluminum, and fast as hell.

Other than winter driving, the 3rd gen F-body was my favorite daily driver. Just pure fun and comfort. I've always thought the 4th gen cars drove about the same, just not as comfortable.

I have never been comfortable in a 90's Mustang. Not just because of the Ford thing either, lol.

One of these days I might get around to getting this one some fresh paint and a new motor. It's been sitting in storage for the past 5 years, the AZ sun has not been kind to it.

Agreed. The 4th gen cars sat you wayyy too low and there's no hope of seeing anything past the edge of the dash. I could never get comfortable in them.

I've never owned a foxbody but the SN cars I'm very comfortable in. I'm not super tall, I know several of my 5' 10" buddies could never get comfortable in my SN's but they were ok in Foxbodies

I am 5'11" and with Terminator seats in my SN, its mint! They are not as comfy when driving on long trips though.

The only thing I like about Mustangs is that when you catch up to one on the road, there's a good chance of seeing a pretty Gal driving it.
