That's actually a Buick engine (aluminum heads and block) from the '60's.
Rover bought the tooling and the rights from GM, made a few changes and started using it in their cars... as well as the Triumph TR-8.
Also used in the MGB GT V8. It actually weighed less than the starndard 4 banger in the regular car.
