I would be keen to see that dyno readout, any chance you could post it up?

My understanding was, and Glenn can obviously correct me, that you would keep the LT230 if you stuck with the 6 speed manual. If you want the Ranger auto, then it changes.

Hmm... what about a D2 conversion?

Glenn says he can put 'em in anything. Question is, is a D2 worth the expense?

Les Richmond Autos is toying with the idea of building D2's to a pretty wild spec (LS3 6.2litre etc etc etc) for around $125K Les Richmond Automotive - Home | Facebook

Sorry mate;
Have you a 3.2 installed in a Puma?
Who did the work?
Also, sorry, what’s an LT230? An auto box?
Thanks for any info.
Ken

No, I have the 3.2 in my BT50. But in wet weather, IMO, it would be MUCH better with full time 4wd. The LT230 is the FT 4WD transfer case that LR use in the RRC, Disco 1/2 and 110's and defenders. Great Transfer case IMO.

John, I wasnt saying the 3.2 conversion lost the LT230, just it would have better driveability with it...

the manual has the lt230 behind it.I just suggested to the other guy if he was in a hurry for an auto we could do it using the ranger auto and transfer case as our lt230 case adaptor is still in the process of being manufactured
