Adam001 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hi, Can someone measure the length of a R380 from a Defender, ideally from the LT230 Mating face to the Engine Mating Face, but just the length of the bell housing would be great. From what I can see the discoverys are identical in length, just the tailhousing being different. and V8s have the same input shaft length but the splines are a different length and the spigot bearing dia is different. It's to work out the engine and transmission for a modified engine layout. (currently have a LT77 setup). Hunted the internet for a while but good information is fairly limited Thanks, Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwazyWabbit Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 No probs, it's sitting in the middle of the shed floor being tripped over so measuring was easy. Must get around to sending it for recon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diesel_90 Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 You will struggle to get a r380 in a series unless it's a "short r380" so it's the same length as a lt77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
