Looking for any information on putting a rover V8 into a hilux, have searched but no real info.

Some things I need to know(Feel free to add more)

Who makes and sells adapter kits for this?

Will I need to change Diff ratio, Running 4.56's ATM?

Who's done it, and rough cost of doin the conversion?

Would I be better keeping Lux 5 speed with dual transfers or put an auto in, and rely on HP, instead of gears.

Also I'd be getting someone to put it in, as I'm mechanically illiterate :cry: so if anyone can reccomend someone in Sydney area, much appreciated.

Dellow makes a bellhousing to put the Rover/215 Buick v8 in a lux, I think. Would rather have it with the R151F gearbox though.
