neither; like the nailhead, it predates the wide use of the b-o-p.
bellhousings with the gm std tranny pattern are hard to get.  if it
had the sbc or bop this wouldn't be an issue.

" It could have the nailhead pattern, but I doubt it.

it doesn't.

" I've never seen one of those out of a vehicle
" though. You might ask on some Range Rover boards what pattern is still
" used, and what transmissions. Might be Borg-Warner model 65 s or
" Aisin-Warner derivatives. Could even be an HD version of the AW-4 as
" used behind the Lexus V-8 (in fact that's very likely!). 

rover used export bw35s behind the v8 in cars, down under at least.
it wouldn't surprise me if the 4sp turns out to be an aw4; volvo uses
it in their rwd cars.  but l-r is owned by someone else now [bmw?
ford?] and finally dropped the old buick motor a few years ago.  i
also wouldn't be surprised if the 4sp auto came along with the motor
from their new daddy.
