Anyone considered using the transmission from a MG ZT 260?

For those who dont know its a 4.6L V8 from a Ford Mustang with 5 speed Getrag box and power LSD.

Rover started putting them in the 75 just before they collapsed!! What a waste!!

You been reading PPC then

First Rove... sorry MG I've actually fancied owning in a long time!!!

Yes indeed, PPC has stirred it up again. I would love one but wouldnt like to run it daily!!

I may go the 2L oil burner route on the ZZT tho....

IIRC at the Pistonheads power run I went as an observer too a guy had one there.

It had a few trick bits bolted to it to..... made a massive 180bhp IIRC!


Cheers,
James

A bit miffed ?? his only saving grace was Hicost having a boost problem, stopping him being blown away completely !!
