Hi,
I'm in the process of doing a 1966 109 built on a Defender 110 frame. I'm wondering what's the best transmission to use for this project. The engine will be a 3.5 V8; I have no plans for serious, heavy-duty off-roading.
I've done some surfing on the Internet and find lots of confusing information as it seems the LT77 was made in a few different varieties, some not suited at all for 4wd vehicles. I also gather that the R380 is an evolved LT77. But all this is rather vague.
Does anyone have a pointer to a good resource that compares these two (or possibly other) gearboxes? Any recommendations or opinions in one direction or the other?
Thanks for any information!
