Sounds good. Work has come to a bit of halt at the moment as we have just built a new house and are in the process of doing all the landscaping and setting up the new shed. I will have a lot more room to work on the car when the shed is finished. I am going with the Toyota diff - here is a...

Gloverman, would you be able to pm me the details.

Hi Alex, The output drive shaft has 26 splines. I figure I will need something like the attached. It will need to extend a fair way to clear the chassis reinforcing box section. The drawing shows the dimensions and the picture shows one I found on the web. Gloverman, is the one you...

It's been a while and I know many of you are dying to know where I am up to. :) The engineer checked out my mock up and was basically happy with everything I was proposing barring dropping the crossmember. This was a bit of a blow as everyone else who has done a conversion on a Stag has been...

Very nice. I'm guessing you would be grinning from ear to ear every time you drive it. Well done. Barry

Yeah the clearance between the alternator and the a/c compressor to the chasis rails are my main concern. I have bolted the engine in using make shift mounts to finesse the height a bit but there still isn't a lot of room. I like the idea of using a smaller alternator - just hope they are...

Yep. Keeping that side of things standard to reduce the complexity of setting up custom ECUs, etc. Making slow progress - will post more pics later. Cheers, Barry

Hi All, I have been lurking on the forum for some time jealously watching you getting on with your conversions and collecting lots of good information in readiness for my own project. The time has finally come and I have embarked on what I suspect will be a lengthy and challenging...

Got one! Many thanks to Zuffen for helping me out. Kelvin, from the pictures you posted it appears the bowl is further back than the rear sump but the from mounting lip is further forward so I don't think the aluminium bit will clear the crossmember/steering. I'll see how I go with the...

These pictures should give an idea of the room I have (if I got the attachments to work)

Hi Kelvin, Its a bit hard to tell from the photo. Do you have better side view taken from a lower angle? It looks like the bowl part is set back nicely but the ally housing seems to extend a fair way forward. If I can get the missus off the other computer I can post a picture of the...

There is about 320mm between the belhousing and the back of the cross member depending on how far back I locate the motor. I need the minimum distance between the bottom of the front of the sump and the cross member/steering rack to get below the bonnet line. From Andrew's pictures it looks...

I will have to modify it slightly to get it to fit but at least it will look stock. I have seen Andrew's Stag and he was able to get it to fit. If I can't find one I will have to go the custom route but they all look so home made. Cheers, Barry

You're right! I meant SC400.

I got a front cut to do a conversion on a Triumph Stag so I am using the engine, transmission and ECU. Sorry.
