So the engine is out to be replaced by a freshly rebuilt 3.5, with an lpg specific cam, and my new lpg intake setup... Empty Engine bay in the process of being cleaned up... Gbox/tcase looking a bit dirty But doesnt appear too bad after a clean!! New engine being assembled, waiting on...

So we have removed the sheet alloy from the soft top frame, I think this one has had holes drilled in it for weight saving purposes:confused::rolleyes: Then checked around for what rust there was on the firewall.... And here is three generations of spiders by the looks.... What's...

Thanks, actualy really looking forward to the repairs side of this one funnily enough, lots of welding involved and I just started a fabrication job at the beginning of the year, so i am getting trained to weld, which helps!

A couple of pictures of the past weekend here in Dunedin:D Sadly I didnt have the classic out this weekend, saving on fuel so I have enough cash to get my new engine for it finished!!:(

Here's the latest project... 1974 Series 3 SWB. Some morron has riveted sheet aluminum over the soft top hoops and made his own hardtop, so will be converting it back to soft top....started with a new fuel filter and battery, but needs a frost plug done before any more driving... Here's a...

I wouldnt feel bad about anything on that vehicle! It looks perfect!:D Testament to your hard work getting selected like that....:)

Stick with it, looks like an awesome setup you have there:D And good luck with the wheels:)

First freelander thread I've ever followed Looks good mate....:D

Nice project mate, 110 td5 is one of my bucket list vehicles....

Ok I have just started it and it cranked over in about 5 seconds! Which I'm pretty pleased about, I just haven't run it for long because its 930pm at night and the neighbours might get mad! And nup, no preheat... I'll keep you updated and PM me if you want any more detailed pics or...

What's the difference between the 3.5 vs 4.6 heads in general?

I know....and the environment...:cool::rolleyes::D As we speak I have a mate putting together another 3.5 v8 with the following in no particular order: New pistons and rings Balanced crank Custom lpg camshaft Duplex timing chain setup Johnson lifters Mallory pushrods Higher pressure valve...

Yep originally wanted to go back to petrol or dual fuel, as it was on purely lpg when i got it, but it's cheap and I can put my foot down without worrying about stupid high petrol costs in nz! And it's easier to tune for one or the other....lpg hasnt caused me any probs so far and has been an...

wish me luck, lpg setup on the end of a 3.5 fuel injection plenum chamber and intake manifold with the injectors blanked off...should be a lot more flowy that the 4cyl throttle body setup with ****ty lpg feed that is on the engine right now! I will have to tap a hole just after the throttle...

Can't explain how nice that truck looks..... Something about it just looks like it was always meant to be that way....:cool::D:D:D

It's for a long term project, using a range rover classic chassis, then building up a winch competition spec truck, and fitting a series 3 body back over it....

Ok what numbers do I need to find out if I keep looking for another set?

I have got myself a pair of axles, any way of telling if they are 24 spline from these numbers? Any help would be appreciated...:)

I am running it without the stat right now, and it's still running hotter than usual, I forgot to add one of the first things I did was replace the stat, but it seemed to make it worse and sometimes the top hose was cold so I think the new stat was faulty too. Replaced the temperature sender as...
