V8 bellhousing

Mikewilliams · Oct 28, 2017

ive bought myself a bellhousing for a conversion i’m doing on my 90 from 200tdi to v8. I think its an r380 bellhousing but would like confirmation. Its 275mm long and has hrc2642 and a land rover logo cast onto it.
Thanks in advance

I'm not sure mate, but are the main input shafts the same lengths and splines the same? I'm asking out of interest!

I havent got the r380 box yet only the bellhousing. I have an lt85 and lt77 that i was hoping to part exchange for an r380 v8 spec at ashcrofts.

V8 has a narrower spigot bearing diameter than the Tdi. Both use the same spline (23 spline), not sure on length but I think it’s similar to a 300Tdi one, definitely much longer than the ‘short’ 200Tdi input shaft.

A V8 R380 bellhousing is 275mm long. A V8 LT77 bellhousing is 300mm long. This is because the R380 gearbox is an inch longer than the LT77.
