All in all I think with a rope and Purely ford's silicone spray the glass install should be fairly easy.

Thanks Katmandu for getting me strait on the rope spelling. I loose my mind sometimes. I know I know no excuse for it! At least I spelled it right the first time. I'm surprised I didn't spell it roep I catch myself doing that quite a bit.

Carl, I've never owned a Rover and the way it sounds I'm glad I haven't. Who cares what them Rover forum guys think anyway! You should get back on there and tell them your chopping the top and putting a big block Ford motor in it now.
Katmandu, All pic extensions are jpeg and i still have the same problem. Do you want the cropped resized pics or the larger versions?

Ken, now that would be a waste of a good FE motor. I'm a second owner from a 60 k lease vehicle, back then with dry starts all rods and mains were into copper. The oil pump is like a auto trans and it's mounted on the crank. $5 K later with a bigger motor it now has a custom built timer and pre-oiler. Yes you can patch up a GM product (215 Olds) but never make it a Ford.

215 Olds & rambling
Ken, the alumimum 215 Olds 3,524 cc motor it was developed (around 1961) then the hp wars and big motors began. GM sold the motor rights to Rover who bored it to 3,953 cc, changed the alloy and beefed up the castings. They all had a 2.800" stroke until the 4,550 cc (278 ci) came about, 3.220" stroke. MPFI, 234 hp and 300# torque. A sweet running motor mounted to a ZF ($$$) 5-speed full synchro including reverse with a pressurized oil system and Lockheed brakes,thats the good stuff, the rest is GM door latches, loose diffs and bad electrics. They want $650 for the 60K mile service, glad i do my own work. This is a "sucker / soccer mom" vehicle with 9 cup holders "wow".

Cool Carl! That's something I didn't know. I've been a Ford man all my life but in the last two years I've became the owner of two Oldsmobiles. Now after all my part searches for one of the Oldsmobiles when I see the word olds it catches my attention.
Katman, I looked at the pics they look good

Ken, for many years I and three friends always hot rodded, chased women and partied (drank alot), two had 65 442's, the other a 61 P-1800 Volvo that we installed a 215 Olds, damn thing with 4 speed-od ran great without breaking the driveline. I had a 69 AMX and Javelin both 4 speeds.The Javelin with 438" and AMX 452", the 442's, Pontiac GTO's Camero's and Mustangs were slugs to me. I made alot on bets on the "Rambler" vs them. On the little aluminum Rover motor (aftermarket) is up to 5.3 litre, 450 plus hp and 415# torque. They mate 'em to Porsche transaxles. Don't forget this is also a Buick motor, nailhead.
