g52 and r151f the same bolt pattern????

[dr who?]

right i thought i had sorted the injector pump leaking problem but no, it started leaking while it was doing the emissions during mot/rego, so i set off to swap another pump off an 2lt that ive got and realised that theres not going to be much left of the engine after ive stripped it and got the pump off, so thought id look on ebay for a 3lt diesel again, only to find a conversion kit for a rover v8 to a hilux gearbox on there for very little money, so im tempted by it, and want tp know wether my bunderas gearbox will bolt up instead of a hilux box?

any ideas?

or should i just get on with the pump swap?
cheers hugh

Don't put a hilux 5 speed behind a rover V8. My mate has broken 3 boxes with the same setup. Go auto.

In answer to your question, no the R151 has a different bolt pattern to the G52 so you would need a specific bellhousing. You would not break a R series with a Rover V8.
