Does anyone know where I can have an adaptor plate made? Want to put a V8 in my truck as I hate diesels cos they are noisey, slow and smelly so will need an adaptor plate to fit the engine to the gearbox, or better still can anyone on here make one for me? I'm in Barnsley if it makes a difference.

The diesel in our car is none of the above ? But it's quite easy to make your own ? Practice with some MDF/plywood first if your not sure ?

You don't say what engine and gearbox combo you are looking for. There is a chance that someone already makes either a gearbox to bellhousing or an engine to bellhousing adaptor.

Stick a turbo in it, much less work. Itll still be noisy and smelly, but with 12psi of boost it'll transform it.

iveco, truck best to just swap engine and box for a yank lump if you really need a ,gas guzzler,, Too expensive, don't want a gas guzzler wanting a rover V8 on LPG as I know quite a bit about them and done conversions on them before. MPG on Iveco is pretty dismal at least on LPG it will be a bit cheaper to run. |

Always have done as far as I know. Kennedy do loads of adaptor plates. Why not just swap in an engine and box, then just make up mounts and modify the prop, might be easier than an adaptor plate and messing with clutches, input shafts, throw out bearings etc?

10mm adaptor plate will be easier for me, can't afford to do the rest, just wanting an adaptor and spacer making up. |
