[metal144]

I just bought 2 Jensen Healey's 1974 Stock and a 1975 with the drive train out really want to put in the Rover 3.5 v8 in that 75 . I'm in Canada took a look at a few projects here and any advice would be greatly appreciated want no EFI for now.

Thanks

Congratulations, Wayne and welcome to the forum. First time here ?  First off, performance goals ? 5 speed stick ? Likely better to direct-bolt at BW T5 instead of costly/not-so-good oem 5 speed. Look over the JH with 215 in Healey section. 5 speed dif. has a better cruising ratio. If using oem exh. manifolds, Rover center-dump or Buick 300/340 will possibly fit/perform better. $'s to HP., the 4.0 - 4.6L deliver more bang/$.   Any new questions/problems ?   Cheers, roverman.
