Popular Post steve b Posted July 19, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2023 After some digging through the pile of transmissions it's here 14D confirms the ratio Oil was good and clean inside and no chips off teeth It has all the parts to mount back onto a 4sp. auto including Hi/Lo linkage , adaptor and spud shaft and lower stiffener plate V8 ready.... SBC on a short LT77 in an 88 2a near completion hiding in a barn nearby and owned by one of my LR buddies. Very tidy build with the standard 2a front panel and headlights and red and yellow knobs in place and functioning as original. Quite the sleeper until it starts!!

Unfortunately not, too busy trying to create space in my garage to get milling and shaping machine in I have been looking at crane scales so I can do it at home, p!enty on eBay and seem reasonably priced if you don't want the remote set up, nearly a £100 difference, was thinking of crane scales as might come in handy for calculating future modifications Regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
