Yep, it's in there, but don't you think it would be more use up front, rather than out back? :evil:

Looks like it might run a bit rough.....

Hi,

I drove back from Lancaster in my FHC when I brought her with a 4 speed axle as a co driver !

Looks like a cool jigsaw puzzle to me :lol:

Cheers John

not that bad a jigsaw but think the sumpy bit bolts on the bottom and the two lumpy bits on each side on top and not including any bits I replace as long as no bits left over at the end it should be ok, will check fleabay out beforehand in case any manuals about that might fill in the gaps...... was tempted to fit it in the rear and pretend its a fiat.... :P

You will figure it all out, I'm sure. Did you get the bellhousing for the LT77 to RV8 installation?

Couldn't help noticing the letters in your number plate - let's hope Automatic Number Plate Recognition doesn't get you once the V8 is on the road :)

Do you already have a manual SD1 flywheel put by? Assuming that you're going down the manual LT77 route instead of an auto box.

Back in the day of my V8 conversion, they were both sought after by V8 kit car builders.................

no only just started collecting the parts but won a few tr7 items on fleabay yesterday and by the sound of it the guy has a lot of bits i may well need including the correct back axle etc so when i get to pick my stuff up i may well be coming away with a few extras........ :D
