Hi All,

I'm hoping to use the Ford derived Duratec V6 from a Jaguar S-Type (cheap and easy to get over here in the UK) in my build but don't want to use the Getrag 221 transmission that comes as standard fitment with the manual version of the car.

I'm sure there was a company, Quad4Rods, that made Bellhousings to fit this engine with a T5 but their website seems to have gone, does anyone know if they are still trading?

If not, would anyone know of an alternative source for a bellhousing to fit this engine to a T5 or other decent gearbox?

Many thanks,

SF

I used the bell housing for a FWD automatic, chopped off the extras and made a plate to adapt a Toyota Supra 5speed.

A Fidenza 9# flywheel for a Nolan and a 450hp clutch so I can boost it if it is not fast enough.
