To replace a 22? If so keep us postedI have got a brand new ZF24 ready to go in. Next project!
Not looked at it too closely yet. I have acquired a late Thor gearbox. I know it is a bit longer. Not sure whether to machine a spacer or alternatively alter the prop shafts. I need to find a diesel bellhousing first.
Surprised you have found one that is not a pile of rust. They were pretty good a falling apart when fairly new as i recall. TR5 Pi would be my choice. Class motor they were.
was a pile of rust when i got it! on my 4th one now that iam restoring finished one side of the body part way through the other side.
more of a tr6 man myself prob as they are more in my price range! tr5 lovely if you got £25000!
didnt someone on here fit a 24 gearbox in a diesel used the diesel bell housing and torque converter and thats about it?
Yeah know they are big money not a lot were made. The early 2.5 PI engines had a problem with crank thrust bearing spinning. Factory repair was to drill block web and fit a self tapper to anchor it. It was a not to be communicated to customer mod. Brand new TR6 came in on warranty with "Something rolling around in boot on corners". After a couple of hours of buggering about retrieved a Phillips screw driver from fuel tank. His little lad had dropped it in there. He was not impressed when he had to pay the labour.
The petrol injection was crap. I converted my Pi saloon to carbs![]()
It was not the best system ever produced that's for sure.
they are vastly improved now with the rather expensive but much needed bosch metering heads that are available!
