Head's a shed
As above, Another one I've spotted. Cummins powered 110 hi cap on ebay.
Didn't even know this one was about, but looks a decent job.
Never seen a cummins lr on their (other than the rrc that was on their a few years back)
So it'll be interesting to see what it does.

its not evil actually well thought out, when I did mk1 I didnt know of any cars with a integral clutch slave so I paid a fortune for some fancy billet thing from real steel or rakeway cant really remember
Also had to make bung for cummins flywheel as centre recess is to big for lr friction plate to make contact!
 
what box do you use for these conversion then pressbreak - and what have you used aaron. not that im considering it in anyway shape or form , just curious as to what you use instead of lt85/r380.....
 
lr gearbox aren't strong enough apparently.
I've used the gearbox that came with the engine, which was fitted in daf 45 wagon.
ZF S5 42.
Then converted to take lt230.
Even a kit about to make life easy now :)
 
I wouldnt expect a long life on a 380 in view of the torque characteristics of that cummins . The lt85 would be a better bet, I ended up using a r380 behind my BMW , and that was modified with the bigger bearings , and uses full synthetic and oil cooler. The BMW is developing about 320ftlbs , but also in a less brutal manner. Going to all the trouble of fitting a 6bt , the DAF ZF has got to be the answer. JMHO

LT85 lasted a week , though I drove in a manner to test the conversion properly, like a white van man;)
ZF 5 42 can survive 10ton gtw and ground workers:D
 
i am considering a 6bt in a spaceframe landy, my dilema is that i want an auto.
i can aquire an engine and autobox for a very reasonable rate(if i remove it its mine), but the allison 545 auto doesnt have an overdrive, so it will be buzzing at 60mph and i wonder if it will change gear too quickly with having very little weight to shift in comparison to the original ulw of nearly 6000kgs.
 
cool, another thing I missed the boat on!

End of the day you can't predict the future, the conversion has obviously taken off massively now. And stuff like the above is making it easier.

R380 looks like a toy bolted to that 6BT.

Doesn't it just :eek:

Neither would I, but supposedly proven.
DAF zf is what's in mine as above pictures show. Although the zf isn't actually rated that high.

Snigger :lol:

Are you going to adapt it to take the lt230?
Gearing will be helped with 1.003 box or 2.83 diffs.
