Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track. I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP, CHEERS. ELVIS

Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe. I will purchase a new 8HP, Thanks. ELVIS.

Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission. And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself. BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go. Thanks. ELVIS.

Hello joshuaho96, I did come across the GURU info, but I only found that they do kits for the ZF 8 to a BMW engine. I prefer to stay with the ZF 6 rather than the 8 speed ZF - the 6 speed is plentiful here from behind a BARRA. HA - if masking tape and rope was strong enough to hold the ZF to the RB - ALL my problems would be gone - HA. Mechanically - possibly there are similarities between the ZF 6 and ZF 8 - but the bolt up bit is the crucial bit. More research is required by me. I did note that possibly I can start with a RB25 twin cam head and get it to work with the RB30 block - now I just need to find a suitable head to start with. Thanks.

Hello all. I am soon starting an RB conversion into my 280Z that is on its way from the USA. Has anyone seen a ZF 6HP26 (auto trans that are installed in a FG FALCOON) installed behind an RB block? I am planning on using an RB30 block with a RB26 head (I once saw some new RB26 heads in the USA - but not sure if they are still available). Thanks.
