gearbox adapters

[deanwilson]

hi there how easy is it to make your own adapter plate for converting a gearbox to fit a different engine and what is needed to do.

I've never tried to do it, but would imagine it all depends on your choice of engine and 'box. Post up what it is you want to connect to what and someone might have a better idea.

bmw v8 to any manual gearbox maybe a t5

why not a bmw manual box? Got to be the easiest option.??

Ive a sylva striker with 1600 xflow at the moment, fitted with an auto box (im disabled)

Would love to fit a ford zetec or vauxhall flat top, but have no idea if its possible to fit an auto box to these engines, is it a case of fitting an adaptor plate.

Or am i barking up the wrong tree.
