M32 gearbox to an f40?

[shb1988]

I know some of the 8v 1.9 engines had these so it can't be impossible, but how much work would there been in swapping my m 32 for an f40? New driveshafts and box? Or would there be more needed?

More mate the f40s a completely diffeent shape

[shb1988]

So all linkages etc?

Why would you want to swap it? Just had my m32 rebuilt with new bearings(common fault) and is so smooth and quiet now.

I guess mate that's the reason why so he doesn't have to rebuild it f40 are very good boxes very rarely u hear about one that's gone

True F40 box is good, but to do the conversion would cost more than a bearing upgrade on m32 i think, F40 is bigger box with different linkages/driveshafts etc i think.
F40 can handle more power though if he's remapped engine.

Only reason is I've got a crack in my sump plug drain casing which is leaking slightly (5 or so drops on to the floor over a couple of days) I've found out I can just replace that part but unsure how hard it'd be"/

Subframe drop job mate

[shb1988]

Oh nice"/ you done one before then sebastian?

Ring this guy mate, he rebuilt my m32 box over xmas, does loads of vecs/astras. He'll tell ya what needs to be removed to replace the end casing, he's got a load of cracked ones too(common problem with m32). He's called TOM.
