hi friends,
which modifications have to be done to get an XPAG into a TA?
i suppose, the bellhousing and the gearbox also has to come from the TC/TD/Y
?
but what else is to do?

Hi Walter,
As far as I know, you can bolt in a TC engine and gearbox into a TA. You
will need a TC radiator and reverse the gearbox rubber mounts. Otherwise, I
believe it's a straight swap. A TD/Y gearbox will require some modifications
to the gearbox mounts. I don't know if a TA gearbox can be fitted to an XPAG
engine.
Regards, Bob Grunau.

Brackets or risers to raise the generator position to match the bonnet
clearance 'bump' should be considered. Also, extending the throttle shaft
around 4" or so to make a proper linkage with the carbs may help. A bit of
creative bending of the 'drivers side' radiator support rod to clear the
carbs may also be in order. The tach drive reduction gearbox may be a tight
fit if using one from a TA (may hit distributor) so if a TC box is used,
modification of the cable to the dash Tach will be needed as TA is different
from TC. These are all minor changes but still need time to sort out.
