Dear all,
I am the +8 that Dave mentioned. I did post, but as a new member, maybe I did not post in the right place.
Thanks for your answers.
For your information: It proved impossible to source a 2WD R380. The 4WD is available, but not the 2WD. Likewise, Ashcroft exclusively work with the 4WD versions.
Things have progressed a bit further than Dave wrote; The standard T5 is £1,815.00 Ex VAT from RoadCraft UK Ltd. Including the bell housing and hydraulic release bearing it became about £2,980 ex VAT). I have not seen any negative comments about the Vitesse Ltd. Mazda conversion kit. But it is about £4,200 ex VAT. So I now have a T5 with Rover V8 bellhousing sitting on the floor, waiting for installation.
And before taking tools in hand, I would like to hear any do's and don't from someone who has first hand experience from the conversion.
