You could go for a supercharged ZT and convert the internal trim and kit from a R75.

Some men see things as they are and say why - I dream things that never were and say why not.
No, I prefer the ZT to the 75 anyway, it just came up in the Thread on the other site, over that 75 V8 that's For Sale after the guy died and it was mentioned that the 75 could be Supercharged and I didn't think that the autobox was strong enough to take the extra torque!Originally Posted by Tim
Is it that same as used in the same era Mustang then?
Ah, that one that's on ebay as well. The box can probably take it but the problem is that there is no proper map available for the autobox.No, I prefer the ZT to the 75 anyway, it just came up in the Thread on the other site, over that 75 V8 that's For Sale after the guy died and it was mentioned that the 75 could be Supercharged and I didn't think that the autobox was strong enough to take the extra torque!

Surely the auto box map is simple, just use 5th, everywhere...
Its about all I do with mine now. Sounds like a big-block v8 down around 500rpm!

Sean And I looked at the possibility of doing the auto but the biggest problem is the torque controlled changes incorporated in the ecu. All things are possible in time but the expense of all the developement to get the correct refinement on the road makes it a non starter. If you fitted our kit to an auto box car it would be into top at about 400rpm due to the torque/load of our blown engine. The box valving would probably have to be changed as well it would be never ending to try and get it right. Sean's comment was " we are not going there" I have had to say sorry to three customers who wanted to blow there Rover V8 Auto cars
Following on from my original post, can I ask what gearbox was fitted on the 75 V8's?
The only reason I ask, is that if you buy the full Kenne Bell kit, it comes with a chip for the auto box, so clearly works with the Mustang auto box, or is it a different gearbox/ECU?
