Just a thought

Moss boxes ended up in a lot of orphans including Jensens, Bristols, Morgan +4 and +8  and others.  Would seem a better match for the HP and torque of a V8 than any of triumphbs contemporary offerings?

The comment about the healey clutch/pressure plate usage was interesting too b itbs common to the Morgan +4bs as well

Jaguars had Moss boxes. But when the SP 250 was designed, Daimler was an independent manufacturer. Daimler simply copied for their SP 250 many parts of the TR3a as the chassis, suspension, gearbox and other parts .  1961 Daimler was bought from Jaguar and the Daimler V8 engine of the SP250 was also implemented into the Jaguar MK2 limousine and sold as Daimler 250 or V8.

Hi Gordy,
I own a SP 250 aside my Healeys and I can a assure you the Healey gearbox
wouldn`t fit. As far as I know there is a chance to modify a Triumph TR (TR4
or TR6) gearbox to make it fit. Or a Borg/Warner automatic as fitted to the
Daimler 250 limousines. SP 250 police cars had those fitted.
There is a very good Daimler forum were you can also place your question:

Btw. The SP250 uses the 9" BN1 clutch.
The SP250 easily outdistances any stock Healey in acceleration.
