With the angled ends, you could still easily get to the nuts.

The conversion uses the standard V8 clutch and flywheel.
The larger clutch used on the 4x4 V8s is the same one as the heavy duty one fitted to the Di powered Transits.
Our recomendation is to use the 4x4 flywheel and clutch assembly with the standard Mt75 release bearing.
The adapter plates have been developed, a sample has been produced, see earlier in the thread.
The spigot bearings have been selected and I expect a delivery of these later this week.
All that remains is for us to assemble a 'batch' of engine mountings.
The parts to connect the engine to the gearbox, including all fixings, will be priced at £175, the same as our Essex 'kit'.
The pricing of the engine mountings and power steering adapter parts will not be 'confirmed' untill these parts have beed assembled.
How soon are you likely to 'move forward' mate?

The incredible gearchange mechanism for the Rover P6 gearbox to Transit fitment... but it works. Engine and gearbox were centralised in the chassis (Transit crank is off centre) so as to make the bulkhead mods easier, hence the off centre gearlever. The gear lever was lengthened as was the portion underneath the 'ball' to get the throw at the top of the gearlever to an acceptable level. The down side with this conversion is the P6 4 speed gearbox only has a 1:1 top gear... this gives 18mph per 1000 rpm with the 4.63:1 rear axle.
