I have a poorly old 2.25 which burns and loses oil from everywhere, i have long wanted to do an engine conversion and have been keeping my eye out for a v8 for spares. then the other day my mate said he was getting rid of his old jag (4.0 streight 6 auto) and if i wanted it I could have it. The hamster powered cogs in my head started spinning, measured up and i'm pretty sure i can get the motor in (if i move the grill forward and put a defender style one on it), i'm just not too sure what to do about a gearbox and transmission.
Would shoehorning a range-rover manual box onto it work? also will i need to uprate the diffs/half shafts?
is it worth doing or is it more like manufacturing a completely new transmission under her.
