WTB- Bell Housing - 61-63 f85 olds

[Hey chief]

Hello, I need a bell housing, flywheel and clutch pedal linkage- 61-63 f85 olds. Any suggestions on Rovers transmission that’ll work, converting my 63’ Buick Special from Auto to manual, need everything to convert. Thx for any Leeds & recommendations.

Hey, Chief:  Buick, Olds, Rover??  Are they all the same?

Try the Oldsmobile and/or Buiuck forum section elsewhere on this AACA forum and also there are websites dedicated to each and all makes mentioned in your post.   Good Luck.

The Rover used the Buck V-8 after Buick sold the rights to them. That aluminum V-8 was built for years by Rover.👍 Like up to 2006!!!!!

Joe Padavano and Eric Jensen here on Forums are very familiar with the 215 in F85 and Special. They'll be your go-to guys. Hopefully they'll see this.

 

As Frank says, the Brits have tonnes of goodies for Rovers, a lot of which also work on American 215s.

I replied to the OP's other thread with a link to the D&D bellhousing.

The Rover bells bolt up, but the transmissions can be hard to find over here. The Rover bells don't accept the Muncie bolt pattern the way the GM and D&D parts do.
