Re: Gearbox quite noisey when cold
try whipping the fill plug out and make sure you still have enough fluid in.
Does it go silent when you put it in 4th?

Re: Head Gasket
I’m gob smacked that you think you will get two cam cover gaskets, a head gasket, a cam belt and tensioner bearing for £50… you wouldn’t get a mass-produced car head set and timing belt for that?!...

Re: Jensen Healey.
i concur...
The internals from a 912 will fit inside the 907 also... crank pistons rods... be careful with liner/piston clearance (on hc pistons) and rear bearing + thrust bearing oil feed... depending on engine number

Re: Alternative Engine's (V8) for the Excel
Ok I’m not trying to get into an argument here... but a couple of points IMHO you will not install a rover v8 (as mentioned one from an automatic sd1 - not a Grif 500), modify and upgrade the cooling system, change "the gearing", find a suitable flywheel clutch/bell housing, upgrade the fuel system,...
