The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi all...havent been on here a while now :( Im still trying to find a decent 4.6 and auto box for my trike.) I found the following on a bike forum and thought that it was good to share something from a group with different but not so different interests...Hope none of you mind :) THE BIKER I saw you...

I'm not back home until Monday or tuesday. But when I get back I'll do some pics and a sketch with actual dimensions on. The torque converter is a new Holeshot 2800. 10 inch diameter. You will probably want a bigger converter with a much lower stall speed for your trike though. Perry Hiya, you had ...

Good lad! you certainly know how to makes friends hehe :lol: Its the least l can do... :D Its great to find such a friendly and helpful bunch of people.. When l first got my trike, l had no idea that the motor had such a vast history and such a huge list of possibilities and options.. I'd feel a bi...

if its 3-400 squids for the whole motor its a no brainer IMO. You'd get half that for the shell alone, 150 for the box, and even if you dont want the engine, there are people on here, and more on ebay that'd rip yer arm off so you'd easily get your money back and more 8-) Check out the calipers (fr...

Hiya....as soon as I find out, I will post. One thing I do know is that its got a manual box, which l will be passing on.

Chris.

Hiya Chris....that sounds promising

Hiya, its in an SD1....

There are sump options on the ZF - the sump that I have is a Range Rover sump (LDV just took a Range Rover box as it was already sorted for the V8 and made it 2WD). It's a massive sump because of course the Range Rover has to operate at silly angles and still have a good oil feed. The car versions ...

The ZF4HP22 is long. I dont' have dims, but you can get the idea from: http://www.cowdery.org.uk/zf.php The normal 2WD tailcone (without speedo drive from Volvo/BMW/ etc) is shorter than the 2WD Sherpa tailcone (which does have the speedo drive) Chris. Hi Chris, cheers for that.. what a dude :shock...

Those intakes are dead foxy, nice one. Where I was in NW London the bumps grew like a bloody rash. Though the splits were good for the bike, could ride hands off for a quarter mile or so down to my road : )) D'you use it as a daily, or is it a fun thing? Cos the chair looks a bit out of reach, thou...

Hi, thanks.. Id guess if l took the heads off and then didnt want it, the owner might not be too happy.. :? It was running fine till it failed an MOT on rust and stuff...and has since stopped starting after sitting around on a driveway, though he turns it over every month still.. £300/£400 will buy ...

Thanks guys........

Looks very nice, and a practical daily / rally weapon - towbar n'all. Though, do you find speedbumps a prob? With the exahusts that low. Carb intakes look superb... Hiya...yep towbar is very handy... Speedbumps !!!! :roll: I *****ing hate them... I gotta go SO slow over the full width ones... The o...

The inlet manifold gasket will be a standard rover V8 jobby, it also forms the vally cover. There are two types for the 3.5, one is a simple piece of embossed ally, good if the heads and block are pretty standard and line up properly, there is a later composite version that seals up a block after a...
