- Does anyone on the list have any first hand experience, or opinions, on the use of a newer 5 speed OD gearbox in a TD? In general I am a purist, and appreciate originality. But on this item it seems

- I'm not so sure if it's really a 'purist' issue, but I'm one of those who doesn't think it's necessary. IMHO the need for speed is answered by converting to a set of 4.3 gears from an MGA in your di

- How about a Volvo engine conversion with overdrive transmission? That way you can actually climb hills without losing speed. A friend's car has this modification, which is surprisingly unobtrusive,

- One of those came in my TD when I found it. Took a few years to give it away. I'll sure bet that if I had a breakdown out in the middle of nowhere I'd have a much better chance at finding parts for a

- Keeping the engine operating in its horsepower and torque range, and keeping the engine rpm's at about 3000 extends engine life. <<<Snip>>> The XPAG's Max HP is 54.4 at 5200 RPM. MAX torque 64 Ft/lb
