This is a simple adaptor you can make in a morning if you have a drill press and a way to cut aluminum. then find a good used Chevy manual transmission. ( or if you want you can buy a brand new TKX for about $2800) But it will be a lot cheaper than buying a kit. Ask and I’ll walk you through the process step by step.

This is easy and reasonably cheap to convert to a Chevy Manual transmission Ask and I’ll walk you through it step by step. The adaptor can be made in a morning using a drill press and something to cut the plate.

This is nothing but a simple late of ordinary aluminum. Transfer the holes on the Chevy bell housing and then transfer the the holes from the Jaguar’s bell housing. The only critical holes are the 2 alignment holes. The rest of the bell housing holes aren’t hyper critical they just clamp the transmission to the engine. It will take you a Saturday morning to make. Assuming you have a drill press and a way to cut aluminum plate Ask I’ll walk you through the process step by st

This is what you will need to make. The holes for the bolts aren’t hyper critical. Drill them slightly oversize They only clamp. The ones holding the plate to the block are Allen head, Flathead, countersunk. the 2 alignment holes are the critical part. You can use brad point bit drill bits to exactly transfer the location. If you don’t have a set of transfer punches. Then drill slightly undersized and ream to final size for accuracy.

The thickness of this adapter needs to be based on which transmission you use.

I’d really rather do a Re spray than be forced to strip all the paint off and do a total repaint.

This is what the adaptor looks like. It’s an easy Saturday morning job to fabricate. Just use transfer punches. Thick ness determined by which transmission is used.

This is what you will wind up making. I cut this on my bandsaw but it can be done with a hand saber saw Simply trace the inside of the bell housing and the outside for its shape. I use thin cardboard as a pattern to start with. The two alignment holes are the only one hyper critical. When you are drilling the holes the bolt holes are slightly oversized. But the alignment holes need to be exactly to size and location. I drill slightly under size and then ream to the final size. Continue

Making this took me a morning. It adapts a V12 to a Chevy manual transmission bell housing. A drill press and a way to cut aluminum are the only required tools. Oh and a piece of cardboard to transfer the holes location. The post 1977 Jaguar bell housing uses the same locating pins location as the Chevy bell housing does. So no need to worry about the critical alignment. How thick a plate you start with is determined by which transmission is used. For street use I recommend buying

I built a rotisserie makes working on the chassis a lot easier. The mounting points are the mounts Jaguar built in for the bumpers so it’s about as sturdy as it gets. It’s on wheels so I can shove it into the corner to gain space

That will take a couple of easy hours. Alignment is done by the two alignment pins that both Jaguar and Chevy share. ( due to use of the GM Turbo 400 transmission).

My favorite race track. Elkart Lake Wisconsin it’s 4 miles long with 3 brutal straights and 9 really tough sharp corners that really cook your brakes and you haul down from high speed. You’ve got to have power, brakes, great handling ( the carousel is an off camber 260 degree corner that leads onto the back straight) Fantastic food in the concessions ( reasonable prices too since they are run by church groups etc) Hills and woodlands and a charming resort atmosphere. Antique shops.
