ive got a f7p sitting at work looking at a type9 gearbox ,does anyone know how toput these together ive a westfield project im mulling over and they said at westfield "you cant do that" harry endfield style. What do you think ?

[cliorod]

COL ~~ owt is possible ,I would think to get the Sierra type 9 box on the F7r,will need a "custom" bellhousing,but as the guys who Rally use the Vauxhall red top,and Toyota engines,with that same box ~~ It is a good possibility.
Mick at "A Frame" engineering supplies most of the factors with these bellhousings and might be of help ~~If you ring him,mention me ~~ we are good mates His website lists the Bellhousings available ~ not sure how upto date it is though.

See if you can mount the box to a volvo RWD (340?) bellhousing?

Im sure you would be able to, as this is the bell housing im using for my engine dyno...so definatley fits the engine, and cant see why you couldnt just drill it to suit the type9.
