So. Are we any closer to actually knowing what the replacement is going to look like or is it the usual renders..... what's the bloody hold up?

Those are very nice Doug. And not a fortune either. Wonder if they have any black ones left

Guess not huh

Anyone got any experience of these https://www.devon4x4.com/heavy-duty-drive-member-kit.html

I give that a try scott thanks

Awesome scott. That guide did the trick! I have to convert 1 song at a time but my HU is playing them! Im a very happy bunny...

Late update on this. Spendrey sent me an SD card that he downloaded music onto. My Hu plays it no problem! I forgot to ask him if he used windows pc or a Mac like I have so I still don't know where the problem lies exactly. All I know is it rules out the hu itself..

One problem at a time john... Just wanna know the best way to go about fitting a gearbox to the 351 first of all.

No suggestions for gearbox if he wanted to stay with a manual? I know the motor would turn any LR gearbox to a box of metal filings. I also think that the Tremec TKO range of gearboxes aren't 4x4 compatible. If that is correct what would the options be?

I'd still like to hear from some of the auto fans on here if this is a good deal? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-v8-4-6-Torqueflite-727-autobox-/272751533263?hash=item3f81421ccf:g:wSUAAOSw-89ZUBjA

Yes it's A&A transmission that's looking into what adapter and flex plate he needs. Just for the fullness of options, what manual gearbox would be best placed to handle the torque and be able to mate up with the LT230?

Well? What about that 727 I linked to? Is that a reasonable price? I'm not up to speed on autos..

Ok so just had an email back from a US transmission place that the 727 won't mate with the 351 without an adapter and special flex plate.

So with the LT230 he will be sorted. Just need to find out what bellhousing he needs. What about this... thoughts? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-v8-4-6-Torqueflite-727-autobox-/272751533263?hash=item3f81421ccf:g:wSUAAOSw-89ZUBjA

No worries. On the rangey auto with the torqueflite box, was that mated to the LT230 or was it the Borg Warner? Edit: I see there is a 727 from RR for sale on fleabay just now
