I have a Daimler V8 automatic. The engine is in need of reconditioning.
I have been offered a reconditioned Daimler V8 engine but from a manual
car. Will I be able to just fit the auto box onto a the new engine by
swapping the auto box, adaptor plate, torque converter and housing etc,
or will the end of the crank be different.
Any ideas.
Thanks
David

Don't know this specific engine, but on most the crank is the same.
Instead of a flywheel you have a flexiplate with the torque convertor
attached to it which bolts on in the same way. The bush in the centre of
the crank may be different, though.

in a manual car as sometimes the hole for the spigot bearing is either
not there or too small.
