1985 Rangie-308 4 speed auto

[mczaf666]

Hi All,

I have just picked up a rough 1985 Rangie with a 308 with a 4 speed auto. Body etc rough but very repairable-motor strong- no noise, smoke etc



I already have a clean 1984 Rangie with a 4.4 3 speed auto. I dont know if I want to go to the hassle of changing motors completely as the 4.4 is doing the job at the moment.

I would like to change the auto over though. Will the 4 speed auto bolt up to the leyland without too many dramas?

Thanks

I take it it is a ZF 4 speed and not a T700 or something silly like that?

Even knowing that........I dont know.....Sorry:p

Yes, but you need need a crank shaft adapter to suit ZF-4.4 or alternatively, a standard 3.5 one, then bore the holes to suit the 4.4 PCD, other than that, it'll all bolt up












But fug that, put the 308 in:wasntme:

Thanks for the replies.....

Im still deciding if I will replace both engine and tranny or just tranny.

The 308 runs sweet, but so does the p76 which has had a fair bit of work done to it.

Nothing wrong with a good 4.4. They have torque to spare. Just don't rev the pick handles out of it and will go for years if have Rangie heads and timing case.

But go for ever:(

Because, I've put more "different" motors in a rangie than probably anyone else on this board:twisted::D

Yes... That I'd say you have:D. You know I'm a bloody purist;)
How can I say that when I've just put a Toymota engine and trans in a S111 109:twisted: Sorry series lovers:angel: It does pull well with 4.7:1..
