Simon B Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Has anyone fitted an Isuzu 2.8 to a 110 CSW V8 with a Santana gear box (LT85)? What I thought was going to be fairly straight forward now isnt, I have the engine already coupled to an LT77 but the seat bases and tunnel are all different part numbers in catalogue. Not sure which way to go on this - convert to LT77 or buy extra conversion kit (if one exists) for the LT85, or is the conversin kit plate universal for LT77 & LT85 even though they are very different in shape. Current LT85 is one fitted in 95 so not as old as the rest of the vehicle, still seems a good strong box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pricey but beyond my simple machining skills. Up side is I now do not have to re weld the old engine mounts, new ones in kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
