If you want to fit it to a 2.5td/200TDi 90 gearbox you will have to get a Series 4 cyl. adapter plate as well to go between the Isuzu adapter plate and the short bell housing. The series 4 cyl. and 200TDi/2.5TD have the same 12 stud circular-ish pattern and hence whey you can fit a LT77 from a 200TDi to a Series engine (or a 200TDi into a 4 cyl. Series). However the bellhousing for a V8 and naturally the receiving V8 engine being sorta oval means you need the Series Adapter plate to make it all line up. If you can get a bell housing for a V8 or a V8 gearbox, would recommend going down that route as it'll keep it all simple and to what your plate was intended for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
