I was wondering if a series V 1725cc engine is a direct fit into a series IV 1600cc car, whether the 1725 uses the 1600 gearbox and what are the rear axles ratios for a non od 1600, and OD 1600 and an OD 1725? A lot of questions - thanks if you can help!
There are more differences like for instance an alternator instead of a dynamo and the carburettor plus manifolds differ but the question was: will it fit directly and the answer is yes.
Not disputing that at all, just trying to point out a few other considerations when doing this transplant. According to contempory literature there were small ratio changes between the Series IV and V gearboxes along with the clutch plate size. So perhaps prudent to check if the splines are the same?
The splines changed at the very late series V, the size of the clutch plate changed during the series IV when the first gear became a synchonized one and at the same time the clutch press plate changed from springs to diafragma.
Does 1725 go into 1600?
