Will a Buick 215V8 timing case cover fit a Rover 3.9 V8 & work? I have a Buick 4B intake & the 3.9 V8 already.
Thanks for the info.

Yes. So will an Olds V8 or a Buick V6 or Buick 300.

One thing that might change is the timing indicator. But, if you bring the engine to TDC you can make a new mark on the damper and be good to go.

Thank you for the help. I now have a Buick timing case & it looked like it would fit.
