Olds 215 main cap/ rover main caps?

Hey guys, so I have a 63 f-85 that I want to rebuild the 215 but I am missing a main cap. Does anyone know if a main cap from a rover 215 would work?

Rover 3.5L and 3.9L engines use the same size main bearings as the BOP 215. The later Rover motors (4.0, 4.6) use larger mains. Obviously you'll need to align bore the block with the new cap. This web page might help.
