3.5 V8 and lt77 box

Evening chaps and chapettes .

Have just acquired 2x v8 engines on carbs. 90 currently has a 2.5 non turbo diesel engine in it, and an LT77 box.

Will the new engine drop straight onto that box? (The engines are out of a 110) the other question I have is... is LT77 geared high enough for a V8, or am I gonna need to shop around for another box too?

Fankoooo!!!

P.s.... anybody wanna buy a V8? As I have one spare!

happy days

Hi it will drop on box but you will need to move mountings and get v8 radiator and the manifolds and down pipes hope that helps

Y r u putting in a v8 ?

Cos I can lol

I got two rads and manifolds with it and he's chucking in wheel spacers and all sorts of other crap. And a winch lol

you would be better off with the LT85 Santana gearbox the 77 box is a weaker box for V8 .. prob need to move the engine mount brackets forward change exhaust and put a petrol pump inline .. hope that helps

Yeah that was my next question... whether to run the petrol thru the existing diesel filter setup, or change it for something else... and what exactly to change it to???

Gonna have a straight through exhaust I think

Answers on a postcard lol

diesel filter off inline petrol pump .. no lift pump on v8 .. keep the other engine for spares you'll need it

Im not afraid!!!

Haha she dont get used much really well apart from weekends its more of a shooting truck now she only goes round the farms so its not like shes gonna have the ass thrashed off her up the mountain

All you need is a fuel line from the tank to the carbs and an electric pump in line. Paddocks sell them for about £40

Get rid of the diesel fuel filter or you'll just have problems, a V8 needs fuel not a drip feed! Lol
