The V8 Owners Forum -

That little V shape groove is designed in mate. It reduces oil pump whine. Because it's a constant volume oil pump, as each volume of (low pressure) oil that has been transported round to the high pressure side opens to the bulk HP volume it induces a small sudden change in the bulk oil pressure (pa...

Yes, but you'll need a 2WD output housing, output shaft, drive flange etc etc - none of which are common to your LT77.

Also (obviously) you'll need to source from a V8 application - diesel bellhousing is totally different and the input shaft is different length.

JE101

20//65/25/20
265/225
0.43" lift

Very short exhaust period hig torque cam designed for 4x4 autos really.

JE102 is a much better cam.

The HP22 is a fully mechanical box and has no TC lock as far as I remember - you have to go to a HP24 to get ecu control of shifts and lock up. I can't think where for the moment, but pretty sure you can get an aftermarket ecu to work the 4HP24 (pretty much mechanically the same as a 22 though). I h...

We've went through this on the old forum.

ZF 4HP22 IS the easiest way to go.

They are easily sourced from XJ40 Jags, all you need to do is bolt on an RV8 bellhousing, torque convetor etc from a classic Range Rover and you have exactly what you want - a 2WD 4 speed RV8 Auto box.

Careful - no mention by the seller of that being an interim or distributorless cover. I think, as he's a LR parts dealer, he would know what he's got and be able to tell you which it is. A question might be in order before bidding.

There are, at a very basic level, two types of front cover. Pre- and post SD1. Pre-SD1 has female distributor drive, short oil pump gears - sounds like what you have. Far superior, and the only choice if you're haveing to buy one anyway, is post SD1 with male pump spindle/wobble distributor drive an...

"the mocal oilpump adaptor"

Doesn't fit the serp front cover.

I think what Gav is after is a screw on adapter that has two ports similar to the mocal plate - I have one in the loft for a buick but the center thread is bigger than the Rover version.

Not all filters are the same internally - some have anti-drain valves etc.

I use a Carlton 3.0L item. Much shorter than std RV8 but bigger diameter so giving a similar filtration area and pressure drop.

Adam, For your serp cover you must use the pick-up in the bottom of the front cover. The block pick-up point is/was still machined into the block for service and for some odd engine build configurations (Morgan etc). No need to blank of this feed, your serp front cover blocks the hole on the front f...
