zf 4hp24 and td5

[59bluebear]

Hi to the forum
I am fairly new to the world of discovery's, hense the question can a zf 4hp24 from a series 2 v8 be adapted to go behind a td5 auto?
My understanding is that there is a length difference in the gearbox, is there also a length difference in the bell housing?

Can parts from different models be swapped to make it fit, or is it totals different.

What I am trying to achieve is a beefed up auto behind the td5.

Thanks in advance

Yes a hybrid can be built...

If you go full 24 you’ll need new custom length drive shafts front and rear as well.

Hi Tombie
Thanks for the reply I guessing that making custom drive shafts means moving the position of the transfer box?
What about the bell housing and converter.

Thanks

Just build your hp22 with hp24 internals and a v8 converter. Why reinvent the wheel[emoji6]

It’s not that simple! Some can others require the housing which lengthens the unit.

As the box is mounted to the rear of the now longer transmission - yes it moves rearward..

What are you planning on doing with it that would require a "beefed up" transmission?
I have always understood that regular services, and not abusing the box, should see a good 250K at least, from a 22 series ZF box - even when towing big loads regularly.
