Adaptor plate design has been thought of and we're going to to try and see if a hi-torque 4.0 starter has got the guts to turn over the 429.......

Using the rover flywheel and clutch (ceramic plate)

The ball is rolling!

Head gaskets being ordered tomorrow (£90)

Block going back together when they arrive, mates making up the new engine mounts so we can drop it straight in and I'm sorting out the flywheel adaptor then once thats on we're making the bellhousing adaptor

18 months and 3000 posts come to mind.:behindsofa:

Also was mentioned he was going to spend less time on LZ and more focus on Uni courses, so he doesn't have to re due them a second time..

yeah, its like ground hog day

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013

Engine mounts complete. Flywheel and box left to do but box has been measured up so we can start

jai_landrover · Nov 20, 2013

Now all you need is a decent gearbox LT95 anyone?

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013

I've got an LT95 and the number of a place which has a few 101 bellhousings and take off short pinions

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013

So thats the block and the mounts, next thing to do is to make up the adaptor plate for the flywheel and bellhousing (all been measured up already)

Then we're going to bolt things together, put the new head gaskets in and have some fun fitting it

We need to make up some exhaust manifolds too which gives me a chance to try stainless stick welding

Freelaner · Nov 20, 2013

T.I.G nice

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013

Cba buying the tig set up for me welder as I'm a bit skint right now so it'll be stick

me stick welding is decent so should be good to go

Freelaner · Nov 20, 2013

Dr_evil · Nov 20, 2013
