Hi
I have a Rover 3500 1971 with a 4.6L engine. The gearbox is changed from BW35 to BW65 with succes.
But I have now bought a ZF4HP22 from an ambulance, and I have rebuild the ZF to a ZF4HP24 with parts from Ashcroft Transmission. But it still remains to install it in the car.
I know that some of you have done this before, for instance Guy Englishman.
Question is: How tricky is it?
I'll have to shorten the prop and make some new mountings. How strong must the mountings be? Does anyone have some pictures?
The speedometer drive is not the same as on the BW boxes. Is it easy to rebuilt?
I will also rebuild the exhaust system trying to use tubular manifolds and twin system that meets behind the box. How tight is it and is it possible to get a good and balanced system.
This was many questions, and I guess I'll come up with some moore as soon I have posted this topic. I am not in a hurry as my BW65 works well, but it has some hard days with the uprated engine. :angry:
Best regards
