Rover v8 to transaxle

[stifler]

Any one know of a transaxle gearbox that will fit on a rover v8. or if there is a conversion kit available.
I would really like a road box as opposed a race box. something like an audi box or the like.
I am assuming that it has been done before but i havent found any pics or info.
Any help appreciated.
cheers

I would imagine that you would get more replys posting this in the Ultima section- if there is one (or Kit Car)

I think most kit car builders use a renault (21???) box, & conversions are readily available.

Cheers

Thought it was the Renault 25 gearbox as used in the Lotus Esprit.

UN1 If i remember from a Renualt 21 Turbo

Not too expensive, and I do remember seeing 2 in Practical Performance Car

EDIT: Just checked and there is 2 in the latest one,

One has a Rover V8 housing on it! For £300 you get the
Gearbox/ bellhousing conversion for a Rover V8,
Granda drive flange conversion
balanced flywheel and clutch
