    Yes important to know as I discovered but not late in the process. The supposed V8 trans I had in the first set of pictures is a bits-a of early and late V8, and 6cyl.

    I paid a lot less than that for the replacement transmission from [MENTION=114]ambientgoat[/MENTION] and the reco/rebuild with heavy duty stall converter is $1000 flat at http://www.nova-automatics.com.au/index.html

    Not much [MENTION=579]Rico[/MENTION]!

    I just picked up some transmission lines and fittings off an HJ V8 - they'll get a clean up over the weekend (if I get time).

    Thanks mate!
    Lot's more work ahead I'm afraid.

    What is left is the chassis and bits. Can someone please explain this pic below... I am not familiar with this plate, I think it is different to the one I had on the other HJ van.
