The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi folks, here's my prob: I have a euro WC T5 with bellhousing to suite my ford 302. Also a Sachs 10 inch clutch cover and bearing. What I'm missing is a range/land rover V8 friction plate. As most will know some will fit a T5 input shaft as it has the correct 23 splines. So, I need a 10 inch clutch...

hmmm, cheers, will check that out, only i have 2 bellhousings here that just need re-drilled, so have to weigh up costs,
thanks,
Tom

Okay, so the car is still powered by a 2.8 cologne with 38 dgas, ported heads, leccy ignition etc and type 9 box. Hope this is okay :shock: . Although the engine isn't fitted yet I felt the forum will be most useful at this point while I'm figuring out the conundrum of joining a euro WC T5 to a us b...
