Hello all

i have a 1953 serirs 1 with a rover p9? engine in it. is this a common conversion? and how hard is it to get parts?

thanks craig

The P9 Rover was to meant to evolve from the Rover P6BS. Neither model got to production level. The P9 was only ever a scale model !!!!!!.
I think that you will probably have a P6 Buick derived lump that sat in the Rover Saloon from approx '68 to '75.
A lot of parts are in common with SD1 and early RR.

I have seen the engine in Craig's Seies I. It is a straight six Rover engine, I don't know anything about a P9 apart from the experimental Rover P9 that I looked up on the net.

thanks for the advice. i need a clutch for it. hopefully a sd1 clutch should fit?

If it's a straight six Rover lump then it should be from an early P5.

Try the Rover P5 club website, they may be able to help.

If it has been sat arround then you need to free the clutch up as it will have got stuck

craig staff · Oct 28, 2006

yeah but as we have the gear box apart we might as well put a new clutch in it

Spyderman · Oct 28, 2006

Might as well put a new engine in too!!

craig staff · Oct 28, 2006

ok then what engine do you think

Spyderman · Oct 28, 2006

Chevy 454ci big block with NOS of course, everybody knows that!!

Or you could put a 2.25 Diesel in it.
