Hello everyone!,
I recently purchased a 1957 Ford Popular which had a 1982 Rover SD1 3500 3.5L engine and a LT77 manual. As I'm working on the car for my fiance's sister who requires an automatic gearbox, I'm going to be installing a 1979 BW65 also from a Rover SD1 and I'm looking for advice on what kind of oil cooler was used on that transmission. I read that there are some experts on these transmissions used in the SD1s on this forum and I'm hoping you can help me out. For example, what is the size of the oil cooler line and where might I be able to buy it, and what size oil cooler do I need to sufficiently cool this transmission. Thank you so much in advance for your replies as I've never actually used a forum before and am at a standstill on this build until I resolve this! Upon request just for fun, I can email anyone interested pictures of the car and or parts. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Royce

P.S. Please excuse the fact that the car itself is not a Rover as the parts I'm asking about ARE. I'm hoping this won't be a problem as this is of course a Rover forum. Thank you again for any advice you have!
