Anyone done this before? Yes i know that lt77,r380,T5,supra are much better but i can easily source this set. However there are 3 types of T9: standard with 6.9" long input shaft, heavy duty 2.8 8.1" and diesel type. My bigest worry is not their strenght(easy change to another one when bro...

I can buy defender 3.5 engine, but 130hp is not much i think .Which way would be better/cheaper? Skimming the heads to make them about 9.75:1CR / Bolt the range rover 3.9 heads / or just forget about 3.5 and get 3.9 with guaranteed 180 hp. Other ideas? In my region sources of parts are only defender...

ok, but which version of t9 work better with RV8. First gear ratio in diesel t9 is 2.98:1 .standart petrol 3.65:1 . heavy duty v6 3.36:1

supra,hilux,rover boxes have prices like they were made from gold. thats why i am considering sierra scorpio boxes, i found in other discussions that mt75 can take 250+ hp and now i'm double confused why is it crap.

thanks but i already know that in my case its better to modify RV8 4x4BH and mate it to some strong but popular in scrapyard gearbox, and the question is not how to make it work, but is it strong enough and which gearset is better? I want to have 2wd and i can buy cheaply strong type9 sierra4x4 gear...

Which one would better work with 3.5 rover v8? I know that some type 9 was heavy duty with 3,36:1 first gear ratio, mt75 first gear ratio can be 3,61 and they are very easy to find in opposite to HD type9. What should I choose?

how much can i narrow volvo 240 axle? What would be the easiest way and is it possible to machine longer splines on propshaft without risk of breaking it ?

I have an additional question. Is it possible to remove input shaft from gearbox through front (I mean bellhousing side) of it?

Thanks. I think it's only a matter of time when I'll do that.

i guess that flywheel and clutch need change too, and this is propably more expensive option (for me). I can afford only budget solutions.

Hi everyone, its my first post in here. I'll start from that I'm planning build of hatchback sleeper with V8 The problem is that in my country only land rovers and cheerokees are good sources of V8 and there is no possibility to get some 2wd LT77 from sd1 or 2wd bellhousing parts. Luckily i found Da...
