MG MGB GT V8 Factory Originals Technical - Buick 215 V8 and Borg Warner T50

Does anyone know if the Borg Warner T50 5 speed will bolt up to the Buick 215 aluminum V8 without a converter plate?

Thanks.

That’s what I’m using with no adapter plate. You just need a bell housing that bolts to the motor. I got mine from D&D Fabrications.

Absolutely. I've been using a T-50 for something like 15 years now. One word of advice: Get the close ratio T-50. It was used with the larger engines. Two others were available, a wide ratio and a non-overdrive. Both are geared too low for the stock axle.
