Gearbox choice for Transit

Post by mickdee »

What would be the best manual gearbox option for a Rover V8 into a Ford Transit :?:
Currently have a manual Diesel 5 speed gearbox in Transit,but not sure if it will cope with extra power and Torque of the V8.

If you can fit the engine to the box, you wont break it, and you will still have decent van ratios.
