I'm looking at mating a 6bt engine to a 4l80e box, is there any one in Europe who does a conversion plate?, I'm also after a 4l80 low stall converter....... any suggestions? thanks...

There's quite a few companies doing these in the US, but as these engines aren't that common on this side of the pond I don't think anyone does these conversions in Europe...

They're in pretty much every daf 45 you care to mention, loads of tractors, and a huge amount of stationary plant... I think you might be surprised how many are around. There's four 6bts on the little farm down the road alone! The smaller 4bt is very rare over here though.
Never heard of anyone doing a converter for an auto box though.
There's a brilliant group of guys on Facebook doing land rover cummins swaps, they may well be the people who know about auto fitting. I'll post up a link in a moment.

Ok, guess it's never to late to learn, hahahahaaaa! I'll try to do my homework next time.
Transmissioncenter dot org makes an adapterplate, but you'll have to ship it in from the states...

nowt wrong with getting stuff from the states, they do a lot of stuff you'd never find here and given the country is so large they produce lots so its not expensive, then add the fairly weak dollar into the equation!..

Daf lf 55 have them as well (Although to be picky european spec cummins are designated 6BTA.) 4bt was used in the older MAN 7.5t truck range. Our 7.5 tonner at work has one. |

4bt would fit lovely in a series Landy, and you can still get fairly big power from them, shame you wouldn't get that lovely 6-pot noise though.

Ok, can't copy the FB link on this eyepad for love or money, but it's just a closed group called Cummins Land Rover Page. Their technical forum might be the place to ask - cumminslandrovertech.freeforums.net/ |

The cost of the parts plus shipping & tax's make for a very expensive conversion.
I'm using the ZF box & 6BT from a daf truck, quite heavy & bulky, but strong as hell......Turn up the boost+ fueling, & run a good inter cooler...happy days!
