ok. so id just have to attach one end to a pipe going into the tank and the other to the fuel filter? also while we are on here any one know the internal diameter for the air intake pipe for a 4.6? would go and measure but the truck is about 44miles away and wanna get a load of things ordered...

as in something like this? That will be man enough for a 4.6?

Anyone got any idea what the required flow rate for a rover 4.6 is? :o

Hi guys, Im currently in the process of building a 90 tray back challenge truck. Im putting a 4.6 rover v8 out of a rangie in it :D In order to protect the fuel tank and not waste time with tank guards etc ive moved the fuel take to behind the rear hoop of the roll cage between the chassis...

Hi guys, Im currently fitting a rover 4.6 v8 out of a p38 into my defender. Basically I want to fit an external fuel pump rather than an in-tank one. Does anyone have any idea what spec the pump would have to be to do this? Cheers Pete

Hi, I'm after the catalytic converter for a discovery with a 4.0 Rover V8. Condition isn't to important as is going onto an offroader so really just after the actual y section with the lambda sensor in so not to bothered if have to weld in some patches or do a bit of repair work to them. Thanks

looking for £350-400

looking for £400 . All ancillaries are included.

I have a 300tdi engine. It has done around 100,000miles. Headgasket, timing belt, auxillary belt and water pump all done within the last 5000 miles. Any questions p.m me. Cheers Pete

Hi i have a tailagte if your interested. All straight except from where the previous owner let it drop down onto the towball repeatedly.

got some exhaust manifolds from a 4.0 disco on the way. next question is what to do with the throttle cable? Current one is way to short. will one from a v8 defender fit? it has to reach all the way around to the passenger side of the engine. Cheers Pete

Would these fit?

Well the logic behind using disco pipes is that disco and def chassis rails are the same width (arnt they? :confused: )

Had a look at modifiying the manifolds but looks like it would be a long lengthy frustrating process and custon headers are an expense i would quite like to avoid. This is the type that i have. My current plan is to fit the manifolds off a 4.0l V8 from a disco. If anyone has any reasons why...

Hi Guys. Got a couple of questions for you. Im currently trying put a 4.6 V8 from a P38 into my defender. First questions is can i use defender engine mounts (incl. the brackets which bolt to the engine) instead of fabricating ones from scratch? Second question / problem is that the enxhaust...

yer that is the route ive gone down. Engine has an automatic flywheel so now trying to find a manual one. Not having much luck. :(

Hi guys, I realise i have now posted this twice but thought it probably belong in this section more than the defender section. I have a 4.6 Rover V8 out of a Rangerover which was originally fitted to an auto box which i want to mate to a V8 R380 originally out of a disco which is going into a...

Hi guys. I have a 4.6 Rover V8 out of a Rangerover which was fitted to an auto box which i want to mate to a V8 R380 originally out of a disco. Ordered a clutch for the V8 and it came with the release bearing built into the clutch pressure plate which is obviosuly different from the Disco R380...

I dont no why the ratios would be wrong. Just read it somewhere. so there should be no problems with physically fitting the block and disco gearbox into the vehicle if the gearbox is left in its original position? Just want to make sure im not gonna have a V8 sat pocking out the front grill if i...

Cheers for all the replys guys. Can i fit a V8 r380 out of a disco? Ino that this will put the selectors in the "wrong" place however this isnt an issue for me as ive already modified my seatbox due to the current set-up. Just want to confirm that the total length of the engine and gearbox wont...
