Hi Charles,
   That Rover 3500/5speed sounds awesome  but I will stick with the 3Litre
for now (the TVR Vixen 2500 would love it as well but keeping it stock). I
will let you when I need parts, no turn signal/high beam flash by any
chance?
   Climax Coventry Featherweight? Wow!
   I live in Langley B.C., I might drop by next time I am passing through.
Cheers,
Gord
