Oh bollix, the used tubular manifolds on eBay I see are usually not long enough as they are for cars, currently there is a used set for a RRC at £175 but they look really rusty and don't look like they will last very long. I have just done £!400 on my Lotus exhaust, I don't really feel like reporting in to the home office that the Landrover requires a fancy custom exhaust. Oh well, strangled drinking straw diameter exhaust it is.

whatever the SD1 was HP wise then stick an edelbrock top end on it and add open headers which are being changed over to the EFI 3.9 manifolds now due to heat issues
Mine is a SDI with standard twin carbs, when new was supposed to be 150-170 bhp, even though its been fully rebuilt, its still a bit of a wheaze bag with the standard exhaust, even with just the centre box removed it does sound good though.

no idea, don't have any intention of wasting money to check the power on a vehicle which has more than enough of it
and no I don't have a meter on it, don't need it to know its running nicely
still got a 500 cube motor here

plugs looked the right colour when I took one out after snapping it removing the old manifolds
the 500 will find its way into something fun when I can afford it, dropping a 215 into a mates navara and have some money coming in from that to help get some steel together for a chassis
got axles and box here plus carb etc
