gelf Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 is there any definative paper work giving positions of gearbox mount etc? also can i find out what was originaly fitted in my 110 when it was made by using the chassis number? Log book says it was a 110 V8 SW in 1984........... when i bought it it had a 2.5petrol/LT77 in it...... im trying fit a 3.5/LT85 as this is what i thought it would been fitted with new. Both gearbox mounts are bolted through the chassis, if theyd been moved for the 4 pot set up id of thought theyd have been welded into position........ they are currently nearly opposite each other on the chassis. Ive had my tape measure out and if i leave the t/box mount where it is and alter the other mount....... so the props remain the same........ the g/box levers are around 3" further forward than i think they should be. Would this because im using a TD5 seatbox and G/box tunnel? really starting to scratch my head now. one the + side ......... ive fitted the new rear quater chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattymender Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Gelf, Got the V8 in today. Sort of. The front mounts are as previous post. The gear box mounting holes in chassisare the same as 4 pot LT77 (not the actual mounts). They lined up perfectly. But the seat box didn't. By using skill, dexterity, judgment, and engine crane and 3 ton trolley jack I managed to bend the front of the seat box forward by about 1" (and jam up the transfer box linkage). Obviously seat boxes differ, I intend to make 'adjustments' with a cutting disk. Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hattymender Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 "so the props remain the same" Ah! Just spotted the trick point. Are you using the 2.5/LT77 props? Not the same as V8/LT85. So everything I've just said is wrong. Again. Sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
