I'll take the forum set-up every time - much easier to follow that the notice board type.
Chris,
P45.

I just thought it would be be better to have one central "proper" forum, as the Google Groups seem a bit difficult to follow, and a bit on the quiet side. I thought people might be persuaded to contribute more to a traditional forum? |

Groups don't tend to pop up on Google if you're searching (In my experience, at least.) - forums do seem to be easier to find.

I assume Groups are blocked from search engines, which is odd. Edit: Just put "landcrab forum" into Google and came up with this interesting question!  www.aronline.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=16676 |

I would guess the answer to his question is to not use a gearbox that was built for a later (and apparently different) model!
I must admit to having wondered if the 2200 engine and box from a wedge would fit, but assumed after reading that they were prone to drive shaft problems on the wedge, that there was a difference.
The old adage of sticking with the original may prove good again!
Getting back to the point of forum over group thing, for me, forum every time.

That's our Tommy, isn't it? My car has a MkIII engine and gearbox and I "think" automatic drive shafts - it seems to work very well.
Chris.

THe chap from Australia who purchased a Six without an engine for example. It's nice to see these things can be done, if needed, although better to use original, as you say, if possible. Doesn't Edwin have a later engine fitted? :b As to the forum v group question; it looks promising as we have gone from 12 to 18 Members in the last week. Nothing to stop folk being on both. At least one has said they prefer the group layout. |

Doesn't Edwin have a later engine fitted? :b Other way round, his engine appears to be an early one from the number, they must have swapped things like the distributor over,'cos that is the later type. Odd that, they left the steering pump on for no reason. If anyone needs a six pump, I still have it.... not sure if it works though. |

I recall (from my time at a BL-dealership in the '70s) that there were problems with the CV-joints at the inner/gearbox end of the driveshafts on the early manual six-cylinder 18/22 series cars. The six-cylinder automatics and all four-cylinder cars did not have these problems. The factory resolved this by (retro-)fitting redesigned engine mountings which slightly changed the position of the engine.
