Cool thanks mate i think this may just be a 4.4 then i just have to go look at it again.

Also Leyland 4.4 engine No is stamped on block near bellhousing, behind LH cylinder head. Rover engine No is on LH side of block - look between middle branches of exhaust manifold.
Rover 4.6 has same head bolt pattern as Leyland 4.4, but casting is different (no possibility to drill and tap for extra bolts as can be done on 4.4). I understand the extra bolts were deleted on 4.6 to overcome head gasket problem.
BTW, the Leyland 4.4 was the basis for the F1 world champion, Repco Brabam 3 litre motor, built by Phil Erving.

what sort of $$?
i am very interested, especially, i need from flywheel and starter motor (forwards) to water pump (if they have a water pump on the front)
i have tried to ring you, but what i may do is talk to you saturday night!
hands and mums dont count!!!
As you know Rob there was no more 4.4s there.
But i bougth the only 4.4 with a complete hilux conversion and an LPG conversion for $750 with 3 months warrenty
And thanks to the guys here i knew what to look for and you were all right the missing headstuds werent there,the engine number was on the back and it has a carbed manifold and tin tappit covers. But once you look at both side by side the biggest difference is noticed. The V is at the same angle but the block is about 1inch taller.
One question to the rover guys though. Why do people fit 3.5 cylinder heads to the 4.4 is it to improve performance or are the 4.4 heads just hard to replace?
