    LDV Pilot gearbox (R380) or LT77 17A

    What an interesting solution. I already found a decent gearbox, or to be precise i hope it is. Engine and gearbox (LT77) is already in the car, but i did not start or even drive it since then. I hope the box copes with the brute power of my 4.8 ;-)

    Dodge destroyer grey sounds very brute and mean. Should fit your fatty perfectly ;)

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    Dear guys, i had a lot of thinking on "stacking" sandwichplates and so on. The more I thought about it, the more i doubt it works. I wasn't able to create a "serial" flow from the pump trough the oil filter and oil cooler if hot, or trough oil filter and back... I couldn't see the forest for...

    You mean the oil cooler, not the oil filter?

    I knew I read about someone installing a oilcooler but i couldn't find the thread yesterday. Know I remember it was you. I have used the P6 Front cover.

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    Thanks, i will have a call there. BTW: If i want to use a Oil cooler on the P6 like this one: V8 Oil Cooler Kit - RB7260 | Rimmer Bros The space for the oil filter is even less than now. If i get it right this would require a remote oil filter too. Is it possible to combine both adapters? or...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    It was maybe a little less. You wrote: in a earlier thread HS8 Choke Question This is the desired object: I had a look at my carbs, only one of my carbs has a similar connection. But no problem to drill and insert a jet there. With keeping the revs down I meant the torqe curve should be in...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    Thanks for taking the photos. Now I understand. Amazing solution. Don't you use some pressure (pump) to inject the fuel, or is it working because of the sucktion? Have you thought of constantly keeping a small fuel flow into to carbs via your jets to sort of enrich the mixture? BTW, i found a...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    I found some more information on the manifolds. BTW: RoverAlex used the same manifold as I did in his P6 race car. Here you can clearly see the difference in tower heights: Source is a thread in the V8 forum: Machining a Rover V8 Inlet Manifold for a Holley 390 - The V8 Owners Forum - A user...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    @harveyp6 Thanks, I have'nt thought about that! The gearbox mount is not made yet, i just lift the whole engine/gearbox in and screwed a plate at the end of the gearbox to prevent it falling out. But that is too high, for sure. I had a look and it needs to get lower. The tunnel narrows in...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    @unstable load Thank's for your hints. I had a look at some pictures from other threads. Unfortunately Photobucket has some troubles showing the pictures. I really need to save and download some of the pictures i need. I will try with a hydraulic lift. As i saw on some pictures the speedo...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    Thanks, @cobraboy for the links to the prop shaft spacer. The speedo looks nice, but it is not the way I want to go. When I tried the 3.5 manifold on my new block and heads (i used a composite gasket to lower compression) I noticed it could "sit" a little lower. But I managed to screw it down...

    Problems (to solve) with my LT77 and >3.5l conversion

    Dear community, After some trouble at work, the P6 had to wait for its conversion until a few weeks ago. Because my last threads are a few months old, I give a quick sum up what is going to be installed: The short block is a 4.8 (i measured with a calliper) The heads are standard 4.6 with...
