Didnt the car start life as 4WD? Is it possible to retain the 4wd system if you use a range rover gearbox + transfer case? That wouldnt work, not with the RR stuff as its all far too big. The engine would also have to go about good bit further back. One of the members on here looked into fitting a ...

cheers folks, you'v gave me lots of ideas to think about. i wasnt aware i could fit the manifolds backwards. but i supose if the heads fit either side then the manifolds should fit either way. this might be an idea. i had a look at the 101 manifolds from the Egay link the left bank looks great for r...

cheers elliot

once the sumps on it will sit another couple of inches higher giving even more room for the starter as the steering joint go's the oposit way.

thanks so far for your input i'm confident theres more than enough space behind the engine for the gearbox. it might give me another couple of inches, but i really need a box to work with before i set anything. i understand its gonna me nose heavy but i'l have to live with it. i dont want to moddifi...

catch up time if you like - http://www.v-8.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1308#1308 i made time for the scoob yesterday, and heres the issues you can help me resolve after removing the subaru's gearbox that sits well forward i thought i'd better try the engine in again. there is no sump on and its onl...

I have set of TVR Griffith manifolds that might suit you. They're just sitting around in the attic at the moment. These are my new ones. The old ones fit on the car in exactly the same way, but has a single Y piece instead of the double and the primary pipes are shorter due to having cats in them (...

its a v8 mate :lol: that i like! i wish i could show pics of my build, but its still no happining. never mind, better weathers here and a few unwanted finances are out the way, i should be getting on with the scoob soon. serg is comming on well, its a bit different going for a 5 door hatch, its just...

RV8's are fun but i love yank muscle

never mind the headers get the turbine glowing orange, then it'l match lol

You would save more room if you used a 2wd front cover like an Sd1. The one you have is 4wd. If this is a road car then I wouldn't even think about using an electric pump. They just don't have a long enough life span and the claims of better cooling are dubious at best. If your that bothered about ...

went out to the hut tonight to take a few measurements and took a few picys heres what i have, the red line shows how mutch can be cut off and welded up if the electric pumps used. second pic is the mesure tape, i know! i need a new one lol but you can make it out just whacking off the pulley will s...

i'l no be doing that then! cheers!

what pulley can you sujest i use then? are the newer rangie ones multi ribed? how long are they? will they fit my old crank?
