BiTurbo228 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Quoted from Jonny-Jimbo Could use your steel one as a template to do the aluminium one, and means your spacer will be a lot lighter too! Also, your spacer should help with the only real failing of the alloy backplate (splitting at the bottom two bolt holes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegt6 Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 Had the pleasure of a quick nosey on saturday at a MK2 which had a very nice install of a Rover V8 mated to a LT77. Phone was not available for photos.....maybe next time.It was all very nicely done - no chassis mods or any other external mods to give it away......only when the key was turned 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gt6s Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 Quoted from stevegt6 Had the pleasure of a quick nosey on saturday at a MK2 which had a very nice install of a Rover V8 mated to a LT77. Phone was not available for photos.....maybe next time.It was all very nicely done - no chassis mods or any other external mods to give it away......only when the key was turned 😎 Yes indeed the LT77 and V8 engine alone fit a Gt6 very nicely. However with the six engine the backplate of the engine sits quite a bit further back than on the Rover this means that the clutch arm protrusion will clear the chassis with the Rover but not the six.Laurence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
