[Rovernet] Rovernet Digest, Vol 81, Issue 3

[Ben Saunders]

What I started to do and still may is use this Range Rover bell housing 
with a  ZF4HP22 for my Rover P5. This transmission was in many different 
makes but most popular were the Jaguar and BMW. I don't remember the 
year but almost any ZF4HP22 will work. I don't think the rear section of 
the Range Rover ZF4HP22 will work since it is set up for a transfer 
case. If you should decide to go this rout you will need the oil pan 
from a Range Rover 95 or earlier or Discovery 1 since the bell housing 
slants the transmission 10 degrees. You will have to fabricate a special 
mount depending on which ZF you use. The attached photo is the set up 
for the P5 and is sitting on the frame of a P5B. It measured otu to be 
within 1/8" of the V8 with the BG 35.
