Operation Bigfoot – Stage 3
The motor & transmission for this project is Chev 305 with centre port fuel injection coupled to a Turbo 700 Overdrive 4 Speed Auto.

A Marks 4X4 adaptor kit was then used to couple the transfer case assembly (from 88 Landcruiser) to the Turbo 700. The motor & transmission assembly was then aligned in the chassis.
Turbo 700 Overdrive 4 Speed Auto & Chassis
An HJ60 rear gearbox x/member was used (as it is 50mm wider than the 40#) to accommodate the spread in the chassis. The tailshaft (rear) alignment was checked & we proceeded to weld the rear gearbox x/member mount plates to the chassis. Front engine mounts were then fabricated to incorporate Holden/Chev engine mounts.
Care was taken in this step to ensure the front diff assembly had sufficient clearance with the engine sump.
