Rover T series + ford gearbox
steve-hv8 - 18/3/16 at 05:18 PM

Been doing some thinking lately regarding my 2.0 turbo rover engine and putting it in my Haynes chassis
So I got hold of a adapter plate that was apparently used in a rwd rover setup
I've got a sd1 bellhousing but to me it don't seem to line up correctly
It looks more like the plate was for a ford box
Is there a link to the ford gearbox bolt pattern for the type 9 box
Or does anyone have a pic of the dimensions

This is the 4cly version






The V6 ones are a different though...

The last one I saw converted to RWD was mated to a MGB overdrive gearbox

Robin Hood owners club
The 2b Superspec had 2.0l Rover mated to MT75 V6 version with starter cut into the bell housing and lengthened gear selector

Easiest way would be LT77 box with Sherpa bellhousing I'd have thought.
