Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum and I'm looking for a little bit of help. I have a 1981 Series III Land Rover. I've always fancied one and decided to take the plunge earlier this year. Unfortunately I was a complete mug and I think I'm pretty safe to say I got ripped off. The chassis is Pretty sound and bodywork is. The engine went boom after one week though. I think it had to prima engine in But whatever is it isn't one of the usual ones. I decided that now i have to replace it that I would replace it with a V8. The donor engine is an SD1V8 diesel. It comes straight out of a Series III complete with the conversion ring. I bought earlier in the year and I've only just got round to putting it in. I've hit a snag though as the spigot shaft from the gearbox doesn't seem to reach the clutch within the engine when they are married together. I was just wondering if anyone has tried to do something similar or has any advice for me?
Thanks guys and gals
