Morgan Plus 8 Engines and Transmissions

One Morgan Plus 8 engine example here is the 4.0 MT Speedster: gasoline power, a manual transmission, and rear-wheel drive. You pick the gears yourself, and the drivetrain sends that work to the rear wheels. Treat this powertrain as a selected setup, not the full lineup.
