I have quite a few videos of fitting the ZF to my P6.

Under the covers are a TR8, a Stag, TR7, Herald, with my 1965 Chevy pick up on the end.
The ZF trans is great. It makes it such a nice highway cruiser. The old BW was a mess so it is such a great improvement over that as well.

Glad that you enjoyed the video's.
It's been beautiful here for the last week, sunny and in the 70's. More to come this week if the weatherman has it right.
I find as time goes on that I have to make more and more parts for my vintage cars. Not sure if it is due to unavailability or just more complex projects. Probably a bit of both.

I am putting a 3.9 liter motor with a serpentine belt system and a ZF transmission in my 1970 NADA spec Rover P6 3500S. I have been documenting the swap on YouTube. Here are the links for the first seven parts.
Rover P6 Driveline upgrade part 6
Rover P6 Driveline upgrade part 7...
I found that the two lower mounting bolts on my NADA 3500S were loose even though one had a locking tab on it. I have the motor out so they were easy to get to I expect it is a bit more difficult with everything in place.

I have not had any issues but will take it under advisement. The one thing I do like about it is that the top of the filter is under the middle bonnet scoop so it gets fresh , unheated air. They make a filter top for conventional round air cleaners but almost anything that will filter air...
I am updating my P6's Driveline with a 3.9 liter motor, a ZF transmission, and converting to serpentine belt.
I have posted some progress videos on YouTube if anyone is interested. Here is a link to the first one;
