Not ideal or as strong, as Sam proves by the amount his breaks

other option is stumpy R380 and conversion box or even the series one, LT95 is a bit long unless you can get a short housing off a 101 or car and LT85 is is a bit long too

you could always upgrade the internals though

Well this doesn't look good ...
What came out of the fuel filter

Little metal shards .... Now that's not good for an engine

If that came out of fuel filter that means it was doing it job and did not get to the engine. as those bits would plug a carb or fuel injector and never make it to the engine in the first place

Yes but if it came from the injector pump (very probably) then it's shaggy anyway

should there not be a filter before the injector pump?Americans have them. screen on fuel picked up pump then a screw on fuel filter(like a oil filter) on side of chassis rail before injector pump

No we think the injector pump is knackered and so is grinding metal which is being returned to the tank by the return pipe

We've gotta make an adaptor plate to fit the v8 to the standard bell housing. Well that's the plan anyway

200tdi ayre · Jun 29, 2013

Next question.

Which flywheel and clutch ?

Dr_evil · Jun 29, 2013

V8 wheel with the clutch for the box. Need re drilled flywheel

200tdi ayre · Jun 30, 2013

Engine no 2 out

You sorted the box problem then or sticking to lt77 with plate ?

Lt77 with plate, otherwise it's a q plate which I'm not too bothered about but it's just more hassle. Plus I know this box is good so why change

Dr_evil · Jun 30, 2013

Shouldn't be a q plate surely as a box isn't a big mod

Depends how you class suspension changes as its lifted on different springs and shocks so technically not standard

I've changed engine and axles if I change the gearbox and the suspension is classed as changed its not got enough points to keep the original plate especially seeing as I'm planning on changing the suspension in the future. So by not changing the gearbox I can keep the original reg just
