sound to me like you should be shoping for a borg warner t5 from an v8 tvr or such like
cant rember what mgbv8s or sd1's had could also be a t5

loads of 2wd cars had a rover v8 so it shouldnt be to hard to find a cheapish box to bolt up directly

nobody wants old thirsty v8 now so it should be pritty easy to find somthing from a scrappy or ebay

Cheers Rince, whereabouts in the world are you? Transport considerations are at the front of my mind....

Just to add something, I had a LT77 in my Striker. The Rover 4 bangers don't have a bellhousing patterns on them, they use adapters. SO, I had a setup from a Sherpa van that could easily be re-drilled to accept any engine you want.

That would be my plan to mount my spare T16 turbo engine to your 4x4 box for my little off road project. That would make it go!

I'll have the lot off you if your not miles and miles away

LG,
Steve
