8-Speed Conversion Parts Package – Rover V8 to ZF 8HP
Rover V8 to ZF 8-Speed Conversion Parts Package
This package supplies the core engineered components required to run a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP) behind a Rover V8, while retaining the LT230 transfer case.
It is intended for classic Land Rovers and Range Rover Classics where modern drivability, reliability, and control are the goal — without compromising the character of the vehicle.
What’s included
- Rover V8 to ZF 8HP adapter plate
- Crank boss
- ZF 8HP to LT230 adapter housing with spud shaft
- 8HP to LT230 adapter chassis bracket / mount
- Chassis crossmember
These components form the mechanical interface between the Rover V8, ZF 8-speed transmission, and LT230 transfer case.
Why run an 8-speed automatic?
The ZF 8HP is one of the most advanced and reliable automatic transmissions ever fitted to a Land Rover. When paired with a Rover V8, the result is a significant transformation in how the vehicle drives.
- Improved reliability through modern transmission design
- Better fuel efficiency thanks to closer ratios and lower cruising RPM
- Smoother, more controlled shifting with reduced engine stress
- Improved off-road performance through better torque management
- Safer, more relaxed driving when touring, towing, or driving long distances
For many owners, this is the single biggest drivability upgrade available for a classic Land Rover.
What you’ll need to source
- ZF 8-speed automatic transmission (8HP), sourced locally from a suitable Land Rover or Range Rover donor
- 8-speed transmission controller — TurboLamik is recommended for reliability and control
- Shifter solution and final setup, supplied and integrated by your installer
Where possible, we can assist by connecting customers with experienced suppliers and support contacts in their region.
