Does the team know if anyone makes a bellhousing for the Rover T series engines. ie so it can be made in line for a kit car.
Also, if there is one made, what gearbox it is for.
Having a silly idea about using a rover 220 Coupe engine. They are T series, Turbo'd, and easily make 200BHP.
A nice package, although I believe its quite a tall engine.
Robin hood used to do packages with T-series, gearbox and everything
Dont know much about it but thid thread may help

Look for the much maligned discovery MPi
Runs a NA T16 2 litre with an LT77 box.
It is quite tall but doesn't look that big in the disco engine bay

Freelander is FWD and transverse so no use.
Bellhousing from Sherpa/LDV with 2.0 O series petrol engines or 2.0 diesel 200/Pilots is what you want. Disco input shaft is shorter IIRC so
bellhousing is not suitable.
I've T16ed a few Locosts as for stock power and cost they can't be beat. All turns to expensive nutsack when you try and tune them
though.
I have several bellhousings stashed as they're not exactly plentiful
It's also a bit heavy IIRC. PPC had an article on it a while back. One of the projects is to stuff one into an MGB using the original gearbox (!)

yeah the plate was plasma cut - the holes then punched out , by a blind man holding an axe .
its worth bypassing these , since they leak oil from new - had oiling issues aswell .
