There are some good Buick 215 guys on the Jalopy journal too. Quite a bit of info there also. I understand not many 215s made it into Pontiacs.

In addition to the Rover’s, the 300 and 340 Buick’s had a lot of similarities with a 215, but taller blocks and bigger journals on the cranks, the heads I think would interchange but the bigger engines had larger combustion chambers. The later bigger4.0 and 4.6 Rovers V8s have some similarities but did away with the distributer and put the oil pump on the snout of the crank, cranks journals are bigger also. The early Rover 215 was pretty much identical to the early GM 215 with some small refinements.
