    R380 to Borg Warner?

    Hi all,
    As part of a rebuild project on my 89 Hiline,
    I'm wanting to convert to manual.
    After a thorough and brain draining search on the internet of goodness, I cannot find any info on this subject..........having said that, I did read some stuff in the mother country that this would work, however would prefer to hear from someone here...............soooooooo, could someone more knowledgeable than myself, please inform me if an R380 gearbox will bolt straight onto my Borg Warner Transfer Box?? I would prefer to keep the later Transfer Box and not go back to old Mr Klunky.......

    Thankings, in anticipation..............

    I don't see why not, given you can covert from the borg warner to the reliable LT230.

    Isn't there a slight difference in length?

    I remember reading something about a length difference of 11mm???
    But I think that might have been the LT77.........?

    For anyone out there that is interested...........
    (and possible future reference to someone else)
    The answer is yes.
    The answer was/is right in front of me.
    The RAVE cd says it all.
    May need to change front prop shaft, but physically the R380 will bolt to a Borg Warner TC.
