Hi John,
have a look at Moss' TriumphTune catalogue (MGL 9800, page 5-1 to 5-10). There
is a complete description how to do a V8 conversation and what parts are
involved. They also offer a complete kit/patrs (SD1 bellhousing, modified
subframes) to make the job easier. If you have difficulties to get this
catalogue, let me know I will then send copies to.
Best regards,
Jochen
