Bell housing?

landy-lee · Feb 3, 2022

Hi guys i hope you are all well

I am starting to source parts for my next project and i need a bell housing to put a R380 onto a 3.5 into a 1983 Range Rover Classic.

What different types are out there and what will best suite my need?

Cheers Landy Lee

Something like this maybe?

Bellhousing - Rover V8 to LT77/R380 Gearbox - FRC133 (thewedgeshopstore.com)

Rover V8 R380 Gearbox (cabmasters.com)

Bellhousing - R380 Gearbox - 5 Speed - New - FRC133 (rimmerbros.com)

Bell Housing - 200Tdi/300Tdi/V8 - Find Land Rover parts at LR Workshop

R380 V8 Bellhousing - Ashcroft Transmissions (ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk)

Hope the above helps, maybe keep an eye on the online auction site and FB marketplace also

P38 bellhousing should fit too, there were quite a few 4.0 manuals

Edit to say I think different fork set up possibly

I like the sound of this. Why the 3.5ltr and what set up?

If not already on bookshelf, can really recommend you buy this as a technical reference https://www.abebooks.co.uk/Power-Tune-Rover-Engines-Road-Track/31006251376/bd

I will keep my eye out for the book cheers mate.

My next project is a RRC and my uncle has a mint low miles 3.5 out of his 101 so im having that off him. pop some HC pistons in and a EFI unit on top and should be a nice motor

Guessing it's currently on carbs :. Which EFi / inlet manifold?

When time comes can recommend talking with Mark Adams at Tornado Systems. Very low key, high respected RV8 knowledge with some very good upgrades. I run his uprated Bosch injectors and 14CUX chip https://www.tornadosystems.com/ + some ACT performance components spec'd to give ultra-reliability/iron out the usual RV8 irritations

Not sure yet on EFI but im looking at the Edellbrock inlet and a holley sniper with a 123 dizzy

Okay, going low cost rather than conventional ecu. Are these units good for trimming efficient fuel set-ups?
