Before the year is out, Mercedes-Benz will present a completely redeveloped SL Roadster made for the first time almost entirely from aluminium. The full aluminium bodyshell of this newly developed vehicle weighs around 110 kilograms less than a comparable bodyshell constructed with the...

We (in the Chevy fraternity) tend to use T350 as a straight replacement and upgrade from a 2speed Powerglide because of the simplicity of the exchange. Same size and same spline! T400 were in demand when you had serious horsepower to deal with. :D

My T700 was out of a VN V8 with cable shift. The 4speed auto in the Rolls Royce is an old GM design (from the fifties) that was fitted to the Cloud series I, II & III as well as Bentleys' SI, SII and SIII.

The TurboHydro 400 (T400) by GM and the Torqueflite 727 (T727) by Chrysler are bullet proof boxes. However, they are only 3 speed...

I have a T700 behind my 454-powered 62 Chev wagon. That big block produces some serious torque, trust me. ;) In my opinion, unless you are planjing to modify it, the 6.9 can be easily handled by the T700 ;)

Hmmmmm... :eek: T700 is sounding more and more interesting! :D

One needs to find the right mechanic (lateral thinker) who can adapt it and then affix a computer to the wiring and make it work reliably! I feel 5 speeds should be a HUGE leap in performance in a stock 6.9

What does an E55 or C63 use? Surely one of those would have enough strength to take the torque...

I have to agree with Tony. The 2.2, while might be ok to tour Tassie or drive about, is the equivalent to having a 6cyl in a W116 versus a V8. Nothing like a 3.5 in one!

Some Interior and engine bay pics

Just for Tarek's benefit, these are some images of the Rover #-litre and 3.5-litre. Also the Coupe, which was really a four door with a beautiful roofline.
