"Marks" Chevy v8 to rover trans conversion plate, mounts, spigot etc. complete.

Been hoarding this. Ha ha.

Cleaning out NOW! Can't take it any more.

7C657E2D-D0C0-411F-8963-C5A36E57DFF9-1754-0000046E7CE1CA20_zps5bdfdd50.jpg


Complete kit to swap any Chevy standard pattern small flywheel motor into a RRC, Disco or ZF equipped Defender. Or use the bellhousing and mounts and simply buy a cheap crank adapter from Marks to use it in front of a 5 speed.

It's the motor mount adapters with mounts
Bellhousing adapters
Crank adapter spigot
Flywheel
Flex plate
Shield
Misc bolts.

Price this new from Marks with the mount kit.... If i recall its about $1200 and pricey shipping. I'm asking $850 shipped. (Heavy)

Can ship next day, ready to go.
First to Paypal gets it. Doug*at*desertboat*dot*com

Thanks!
Doug

Is this the kind of think that would allow me to mate a crate chevy 350 or LS1 to a ZF?

Yes. It would.

There are slight differences in Chebby crank ends on the super new stuff - but I believe this will work still. The flywheel may be a hang up on the newer odd ball small blocks. Easy to solve.

Still have this, several PM's.... I'm open to offers and it's headed to ebay soon.

How about $750 shipped? Thats close to half price when shipping from Aussie is considered. Thanks.

Damn, it's tempting just to put on the shelf "in case"... Argh. A SBC powered LWB could be fun.

I wish I could take it off your hands Doug, I'd love to have it sitting on my shelf for down the road but my pocket book just can't take the hit right now.

My exact thoughts.... Keep it. You know it rains in ME often enough - at least when it isn't snowing. :D

Last offer for a while, or it goes back on the shelf for a rainy day - $700 shipped.

Would swap for a solid RTE winch bumper shipped, part trades for a set of D2 16" alloys, D2 HD rear axles, Superwinch Talon 9.5 with syn line, Full new brake set rotors/pads for D2..... maybe other stuff.

Hey Doug- This will let me put an LSX in my D2? :D

Sure - but you'll need an earlier style torque converter (and a heavy built one) and probably the trans will eat itself on the first launch.... And let's not forget all the wiring needed. Ha ha

But YES it will bolt in. The motor mounts are a little different.
