Nice choice of engine.

What box are you sticking behind it? The ZF 6 speed manual?

Tremec 6 speed mate

Great something interesting to follow over the winter!
Is this to run alongside your existing 4.5 Sag?

[mccrae]

The car will go to a customer in Switzerland ,j

[GTRene]

I have developed a Tremec conversion for the Jaguar V8 engine as used in the XKR

Contact me if interested

Just thought I would post a picture of the bell housing I've had made.

That's what is on the engine including two locating dowls, two of the gearbox side are locating dowls and the four at the top are fixings for other items on two models of the Jaguar

Don't foget this gearbox will take 700 horses
You can easilly get the Jaguar V8 up to over 600 horses as I have done

I wouldn't mind a look at this close up before it disappears to cheeseland it looks like an interesting project. I'm looking at the LS3(or NEW LS1 direct injection & VTEC coming out next year) for the Tamora. tbh it would be an idea to put a 'British' derived engine in it.
