And whom exactly are you meant to be terrorising with this set-up - apart from yourself..........? We have just finished a 1977 series 3 'hotrod' for a client he presents with a beautifully restored 1977 series 3 soft-top in black with silver modulars, exmoor seats etc. he then tells us...

well it is just sitting there - ashcroft will give me 150 for the 1.6 delivered to them as they are really rare now - if you can get any more then you can take anything over 150. Includes torque converter and adapter plate for RV8 as well.

mopar 360 is a really nice engine - just standard heads and running nice is way over 250 bhp and 320lbs. Edelbrock cam, intake and 600 carb gives 300 bhp and 375 lbs. Add some nice work on the heads...............................WOW Got a 727 'box from a charger with a 1.60 LT230 on if...

Of course - even very basic 454 gives monster torque - over 400lbs/ft Problems though - 1. you cannot get a decent exhaust system down past the LR chassis rails 2. So Heavy - completely ruins the already iffy weight didtribution. 3. so much torque off idle - make 90 face wrong way very...

As you well know this is a light car engine - no torque at low revs the only real modern chevy option is the 6.0 Vortec from the escalade and they are very expensive. Th only real option for massive torque in a landy is the 383 stroker SBC With the Edelbrock package mine has 450lbs/ft...

Thanks mate - going over to workshop tomorrow so will check A real help that table. so you are giving the blower a miss for now?

Hi mate - will send you a PM as well. I have just been reliably informed that it could well have been OF that removed the numbers - apparently they did everything in their power to ensure the cars came to them for service/repair etc - apart from routine servicing info(part numbers for filters...

Hi Guys as you probably know I like to do things right - as do we all when funds allow. In an ideal world we would just buy a pair of Edelbrock E-tec heads and have done with it. I will get the CC's on the heads measured - obviously - but my concern is they may be those crap chinese copies...

Well boys they have done it again:mad: my bezzie, who is also my brief, has advised me to stipulate that I am talking bout the old lot based at Aldershot who went tits-up a long time ago and not the Sloane family who currently own the brand - and who I also consider to be my friends (Hello...

Johnnie - Why are you mucking about with all this nonsense? Put the 4.6 in with your existing front end and efi sytem. You just need a long-nose cam, timing gear and a crank spacer. £165 for a viper hurricane from real steel and 150 quid for the spacer, lifters, timing gear and gaskets. Job...

4.2 V8 engine wanted for rebuild not worried about heads or injection system(will be going on carbs) Just block, rotating assembly and front cover. Good price paid PM me.

Johnnie Why do you need a manual flywheel? I thought you were replacing a knackered 4.6 with a fresh 4.6!!!! Are you doing a manual conversion as well?

Noiseman. I was very sad to use the Overfinch discovery as the donor vehicle for my 90 - but it was a question of economics I am afraid I had bought it with restoration in mind but to do it to the correct standard would have cost a fortune that couldnever be justified - look a the one at...

he used to be indecisive............but now he's not so sure!!!!!!!

Will take some photos and put them up - will be going over to workshop on Tuesday - but in meantime we put it on the 'wrong' side if you see what I mean.

An properly set-up edelbrock 4 barrel carb and hi-rise manifold will always make more power and torque than a primitive efi system like Hotwire and fuel economy is similar. That is why V8 developments use one for their dyno runs. Dom at TVR power will tell you that as well. Kits can be had to...

Hello guys Derek Allfrey landrover near Billingshurst has a good solid V8 disco which he is selling on behalf of a customer Before she goes to ebay auction i thought it might be worth putting on here because you lot know what you are talking aboit particulars 1997 V8 ES Auto. Red with beige...

hello Boys and Girls Here is a link to my mate's museum and resto business in Germany http://landy-point.de/ if you use chrome as your browser it will translate into pidgin english it is a stunning collection in the most beautuful part of the danube valley

Stick with it - it transforms the car we have just fitted it to a 77 series 3 (also fitted a whopping great 4.6 with edelbrock carb and a 4speed auto as well!). you have to move the front crossmember so it is quite involved but well worth the effort if you get it right.

Steve more and more people are suffering these sorts of woes with their geriatric EFi systems - my mate Derek at Derek Allfrey Landrovers is seeing it all the time. He looks after about 200 old discos and various RRC's - there is always one in the workshop needing a new dizzy or ecu or...
