Right, who knows about P38 Range Rovers? I'm currently building up a ex-P38 V8, the engine came out of an automatic car but I'm using it in a manual. No problems so far, I can just bolt up one of my existing flywheels to the end of the crank...however what I'd really like to do is keep the 36-1 trigger wheel that is riveted to the back of the flex plate that came with the engine this way I can keep the standard OEM crank sensor that is safely hidden out of harms way, instead of using a trigger wheel amalgamated to the crankshaft pulley. The question is which is going to be easier? Getting a machine shop to drill and tap the back of an existing flywheel to accept the trigger wheel, or find a manual P38 being broken and buy the flywheel, then drill and tap face of the flywheel to accept a 9.5" 2WD clutch?

Answers on a post card to the usual address.

Only on the Diesels. V8 manual flywheel (4.0L only from the factory) were standard solid type.

Does anyone know if the 4.0l flywheel can be substituted for the dual mass one of a P38 2.5l?

Just catching up on this thread, based on info provided I'll be attempting to attach a P38 CPS reluctor ring from an auto flexplate onto a manual RRC or SD1 flywheel for a 4.6 thor to Landy Series 1 80" build I'm working on.

Intention is carbs and MJ lite or nodiz so a neat crank sensor would be good
