If you have your engine, then why limit yourself to an LT95/85? With off-the-shelf adapters from the US you can run several US based gearboxes in manual or auto.

That too.
I'm still unconvinced that a gearbox with 77mm spacing is a good idea behind one of these.

Hi Andrea,

It's a wonderful news ! You were born near to my home town: Genova, Genoa in English.
I know Alassio and Albenga very well, if you'll come here next time please write me a line, I'll be happy to meet you.
Regarding to the conversion, It's very difficult to obtain a bellhousing for the R380, as I wish to keep the car as standard as possible, I also tried to look feor an Australian Land Rover shops to purchase a LT85-LT95 bellhousing, but It seems it's a very difficult task.

Ciao

Marcello

Marcello,

I bought my lt95 bellhousing from Fred Smith about a year ago. It was expensive, but available.

Cheers,
Paul
