in my project ive used the V8 disco auto box with the 300tdi bell housing, 606 is running a manual/mechanical fuel pump with 6mm inserts so just up on standard power but everything eles is as it come out the donner car,i would of liked to use a manual box (r380) as the are 2 to a penny to pick up and cheap as chips if the do go bang, i dont think the out/input shafts are long enough to mate up with the 606 flywheel without a lot of work to get a clucth plate/flywheel as mb done very few manual 606td's unlike the easier auto option (spacer/flexplate) please dont start ranting raving if im wrong if it can be done im happy to take mine apart and look at it again for a manual box, mines altogether but im yet to try/drive it as its only in the mock up stage and need to get some props made

ive got the same engine in my project truck and when i first got the engine in and running i had a similar problem as mine wouldnt rev when under load it turned out to be a second filter/gauge inside the fuel pump, am i right in thinking your using the V8 LT77 Long lever gearbox?

to help with the pressure on the trailing arms/a frame etc etc ive gone for some standard RRC 170lb springs (red/white) front and rear instead of the 225lb ones for the front shocks ive used the unimog mounting on the axle and fabbed brackets off the turret to join top pin of shocks (ome's) if i could work the adding pic id show you how i strengthened chassis mounts ive gone for an adrenaline a frame and trailing arms for the rear as for prop lengths/modifications ive moved my engine back 9inchs and up 2 1/2 inchs but not got to that part yet just on the mock/weld/strengthen part of my build

if i knew how to add pics id show you mine so far(im not pc friendly!! )

Im doing this to my project truck at the mow, was it the mog axles in east sussex youre on about from ebay?
