Belhousing adapters

Post by Danny-Boy »

Does anyone know where i can purchase or get the designs for a gearbox adapter for my ct box?, i`m looking at fitting a v6 or v8 to my wagon, or something that can offer some grunt, possibly diesel.

Can't remember exactly to be honest but around £600 pops into my mind.

I bought, conversion plate, flywheel, clutch assembly and hi torque starter motor.

The whole thing is very well machined and turned out, it come with all the fittings and full instructions.

I still need lots of stuff to do the conversion as I looked at the winkler site and they did the full package for about £1100. (Cables, engine mounts etc)

I did a lot of research into the conversion I want to do and decided to go down the KEP route. Hope that helps.

if you get an engine with grunt on your CT box, you'll find yourself terribly undergeared i fear.
