Hi Mick Welcome from another Port Macquarie ite Do you know what diff ratio your van has By the way it looks good hope to see it round soon Cheers Reid

[ben]

to answer question about T350 and clear few things up.

Turbo 400, 350, 700 autos all have turbo bolt pattern.


v8 trimatic auto has v8 trimatic bolt pattern

straight 6 trimatic autos and manuals only came with 1 pattern.

holden 253 only came 1 pattern v8 trimatic

holden 308 came with both turbo and v8 trimatic pattern


hence the need for an adapter to run turbo box on v8 trimatic pattern

G'Day Reid and thanks for the welcome I got a few things I am going to tidy up before she hits the road though. The diff in my van is out of a VH commodore, its a 10 bolt but I am unsure at this stage what ratio it is as holden had 5 different 10 bolt ratios. Once I find out I will let you know.

Cheers Appsy

G'day Ben thanks for all the info very helpfull, another question for you how wide is the adapter plate for these boxes and is there enough movement in the spline on the tail shaft, also wanted to get some prices for the bits you sell, the dash, engine cover etc

Cheers Appsy

The adapter kit I picked up from Ebay has a width of about 15mm. About $250 from memory.

Don't know about the spline but I'm pretty sure the 700 is a bit longer so you'd be looking at shortening the tailshaft

[ben]

was that new or second hand Banksx2?

also are you interested in getting it copied?

and which way does it adapt?

cheers

Hey Appsy my bro inlaw has a 10 bolt 2.62 ratio I think would be good with your 308 & trimatic great for highway crusing He also has a turbo 700 he has adapted to a 202 you could look at If your diff is a 3.08 you would need the od trannie to keep the revs down My camper has 202 3speed auto & 3.08 diff & does 2800 rpm at 100 ks would be too many revs for your 308 So if you want make a time to come out to Teli Point & we can talk BEDFORD & maby give you a few hints about changing rego from QLd to NSW Cheers Reid

Brand new.

Haven't fitted it yet but it looks to just bolt in using offset bolts (see photo at link below)

At the advertised price it's probably not worth the hassle of copying - there's a fair bit of machining involved for the different bits. The offset bolts would need a CNC lathe to do them in any quantity and the adapter plate has to be milled flat.
