It runs on diesel?! ;) so whats different about the derv box? what model box are we talking here?

A derv box..? sorry no idea what one of those is

Wow some great stuff on that site. I see they do high ratio kits for the series 3 box.. also a strengthened internal gear set for a 380 - be ideal if they made a similar kit for a series 3 box!

I used to have a 80" with a 283chev, and fj40 running gear. Was a nice amount of power. Also dropped a 300+hp 350 into it for a bit (running it in for a mate) And man-o-man did it haul with that in it! struggled to keep it cool though.

Yep I'm coming round to the idea that the 4 speed is gonna be a whole lot easier.. I'm mostly worried about the strength of it. Re overdrive I'd prefer to go with 3.5 diffs. Also I read the overdrives wont handle the extra power(but haven't looked into that in full yet). It's going to be a...

Don't suppose you've got any pics of the drive tunnel? I'm curious how it looks with the modifications..

Does anyone have a success story putting a rover V8 into a 88 SIII? which gearbox? My intention is to tweak the engine a good amount - I gather the series III box wouldn't be up for that. I've been doing some reading and sounds like there's no easy answer. The LT95 is the strongest but from...

Hi All, I've joined this forum to help me design a build for my SIII. My goal is to keep everything landrover and looking as original as possible. I have some experience as I rebuilt (with the help of mechanics/engineers etc) a 52 80inch which I owned quite a while back. Build criteria...
