Bell housing and adapter from Magnum Engineering adapts v8 to ford type nine gearbox.

Since I first owned a capri I have always dreamed of fitting a rover V8 (It`s the sound) and
these pages show how my conversion was done. I chose this route but each conversion is always going to be unique.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank every body that helped me including Alfie, Dell, Magnum Engineering

I would also like to recommend the V8 Forum where I found the answers to many of the problems that I had to overcome
