Mating
Quick question. Is there any way to mate an engine and gearbox from different cars to each other?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Would a type 9 take the power and torque from that lump?
You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one
portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.

How about a Jag gearbox?
Surely they can't have all been autos

The original Jag box?? I'm sure Pluto is smaller than those though - no longer being a planet.
If your prepared to package the engine then the box shouldn't be that much more hassle.

You need a Getrag box from a BMW 7 series (the one with the detachable bell housing) or a Supra box.
You then need a bell housing. Speak to Realm Engineering.
Master cylinder, slave cylinder, clutch etc etc. Not cheap.

Sorry to be vague but I think some Jags used the Getrag.
Also, one of the kit companies, maybe Luego, made a Jag engined 7 with a Getrag box.
I know Lotus used them, as the Eclat engine I'm using has it's original Getrag box into
which I've fitted a hydraulic concentric clutch unit (ex Mundano)

I have also posted this in an earlier reply
" The getrag 221 is the rwd gear used in the lincoln ls and the s type jag (3l). The gearbox internals are mostly form the manuals used in BMW
M3. The gearbox won't directly bolt up to a Duratec 25 V6. There are several holes missing on a Dura 25 and some of the holes in the dura 25 are
shifted 1 or 2 cm. The st220 mondeo and the jag are using a dura 30. The initial design of the duratec V6 was from porsche, went to cossworth and
ended up in different cars (mostly ford related)
