rover transfer question?

Post by jugger »

ok i wanna put a rover v8 in my hilux . but no one makes a adaptor kit or any thing to put it with a lux box . my question is . dose the rangie gear box ( auto or manual) and transfer have the same side drop as a hilux or is it the oppeset??????
im thinking it could be much cheaper to use the motor, gearbox & and trasnfer than trying to adaptit . and im thinking that the rover drive line will take a bit more abuse from the motor .

other question . what auto is the tuffest rover box??

Its a DS drop at the front like the hilux, but the rear is DS drop also unlike the centred Hilux.

Go for a sixty rear diff as they have a stronger CW'P and probably a stronger hemisphere set

Personally I'd use the LC60's, especially if you're on big rubber as its a lot stronger than the RR diff. I'm in the process of building a Landy with the Rover V8/gearbox, and have used the LC60 axles and so far its coming together nicely. Also, the transfer is designed to run a 3.54 diff and 29's if its out of a Rangie/Disco and 31's if its out of a Defender. I'm running the Defender one, with the 4.1 LC60 diffs which gears me standard for 37's. :D

I have seen a few rover v8s in hiluxes - surely someone must make an adaptor?

Do you want an auto or a manual?

The shafts are not it, though there wont be any clearance problems with the shaft after a little chassis modification - keep in mind that I'm using a Land Rover chassis though.

I think I remember the rover v8 to hilux conversion being in the Dellows catalogue. A while since I have looked though.

no longer aparently . a bloke in NZ had a bell housing but nothing else and apatrently you need a special fork and other crap . ive got so many ideas but i get halted by either reality or budget blowout . ok i know it cost to build a capable rig but i wanna try and repower with simalar weight better ballance and siplicity of aftermarket electronic ignition and LPG . dont wanna have the stuffing aroud with wiring lomms and carp . ( THATS WHY I DONT WANT A HOLDEN V6 and i want somthing unique). mite talk to the ennginerr and see ahst he thinks about putting a hilux body on a rangie chassie , or fabing in all rangie running gear to th ehilux chassie.

You could probably use a steel case/ supra box to rover bellhousing these are available as they are a common conversion to V8 MG's and TR7's .
Saddle up tonto, its the not so loanrangie! . 98 TDI DISCO lightly modded with more to come.
