Bell housing fitment

Will the bell housing (LT77 'box) from a MGB V8 fit the standard RV8 block?

Yes. All the Rover V8's had the same bolt pattern, so any box from any RV8 will fit any other RV8.

Just a comment in that you may have to change the clutch. Albeit a T5 box, I fitted my TVR T5, bellhousing, slave cylinder and arm to an old 3.5 V8 keeping the old V8 clutch. I found that the clutch slipped as the slave + arm was slightly pushing in the clutch so I had to fit the TVR AP clutch to the old V8's flywheel. It was only a short term exercise but meant engine out (again).
