Unsworth Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Hi, Perhaps you should buy the DVD "A 4X4 is born by Mark Evans". If you have not seen it, It is a DVD based around his project building a Hybrid like yours on a 1982 RRC. He swapped the original LT77 box with a shorter R380 unit (Mated to a 3.5 rover v8). I should imagine if you want a manual. Just go for the LT77 (Fitted from all 90-110's from 1983 - 1994 I believe) I also believe that you might be able to swap the longer bellhousing on a Disco/Rangie LT77 box with a 90-110 item, This would then bring the gear knobs in the right place?. But you will need to move the gearbox x-member and then you will need a longer rear propshaft. A way of telling a LT77 from an R380 box is that reverse is in a diffent place (LT77 is Left and up) Whereas (R380 is Right and down) Hope this helps..
