3.5 Litre V8/ Toyota 5 Speed Combo For Sale

[spiderken17]

I have for sale a Rover 3.5 litre V8 and Toyota 5 speed gearbox combo out of my 2+2 for sale.

The gearbox is either a Supra or Celica unit (i am not sure) mated to the engine with a Dellow bell housing and the engine has engine mounts for a Zed already made.

It also comes with 3 tailshafts. A standard 2+2, a standard 2 seater and the custom tailshaft that goes with the combo for a 2 seater. 

This is a great engine/box is you want a V8 rumble to your Zed but don't want to spend lots of money on a conversion with brake upgrades and multiple engineers reports.

Because the engine is lighter than the standard L series a brake upgrade is not needed it will easily pass an engineers report. If it is going into a 2 seater it even has the custom tailshaft to suit so a gearbox crossmember and exhaust system are only major work that is required (the engine has exhaust manifolds on it).

Below is a link to the car this combo came out of. I drove the car before it was removed and it went well with plenty of low down grunt. The previous owner also had a timeslip from WSID showing a low 15 second pass. Not lightening quick but great for a streeter Zed.

 

 

 

 

I would like $2300 (negotiable) for the lot. The bellhousing alone is worth  $1000 plus the custom tailshaft and the fab work to make the engine mounts make it well priced for a V8 swap.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Item is located in the Lower Blue Mountains NSW.

Anyone interested please contact me on 0409053403 or spiderken17@yahoo.com.au as i do not get on the forums much anymore.

Cheers, Ken

Ha! pilfering my you tube account. Still remember going for a drive in that Zed, suffered badly from wheelspin as i remember and hence the 15 second pass. Sounded great. Maybe someone could stroke it out to 4.4 litre.

Plenty of easy to get go fast bits for these if you know the right bits to use, plus if you are game they will go out to just under 5 litres, just ask some Formula 5000 competitirs and Can Am sports car owners.......
