zen has done this conversion to a 72 RRC have a word with him.
he goes through alot of gear boxes though lol.
one day I will do the same conversion with a bmw v8
that is why I plan to use lexus auto box and sacrificial LT230, is he using lt77 to lexus v8?
there is the issue then, I'm using lexus box to lt230
depending on engine it is at least 260hp reliable too
Lexus box is rated for job and lt230 is a gear transfer box, borg warner one is chain(p38)

1989/90 was the change to viscous.
check for a chain before you go too far
Have my mate sitting in room who used to work for toyota, he says doesn't know of any regular gearbox failures apart from wrong oil in them ****s them.
If you know something more about lexus box, spill the beans as an lt230 used in discovery, defender does not have a chain.
