ADAPTER SYSTEMS: 

For the ZF box (Now removed see Transmission page)

Gilo's Engineering Land Rover R6 to Chev 4.1 Adapter
Machined out to 11.5" and modified to suit larger 6.2 Starter motor
Adapter ring made from aluminum, machined to suit disco torque converter and GMC Flexplate.
+- 22 mm thick

LT230 transfer box adapter: (For the 700R4 Chev auto box and LT230 Transfer box combo)

The 700R4 box fits directly to the GMC engine, but the Land Rover transfer box does not fit...at all !

A company called Chris Mod in Hartebeespoort makes adapters to order, he made an adapter to suit, all out of steel, very neat and straight. De also machines the adapter shaft which is an inner splined tube for the main box and an outer splined shaft for the transfer box, this is then sent away for a decent hardening process. Cost for the adapter plate and shaft: R 2000 and takes +- 2 weeks.
