    P38 to Classic Chassis Swap?

    what is cc limit?if motor size is problem why not drop a 3.5 staged xbolted short block and staged heads or merlin heads?with right cam should be just as good but probably better than your 4.6.or is that not allowed.seems to be easier than body change lol or sell the p38 and get a classic with...

    What landy is best off road ??

    over here landies are not worth much defenders hold there price ,you could get two 2000 model range rovers cheaper than a 95 defender 90.i picked this 1955 107 60miles on the clock runs sweet original paint and road legal for $400nzd so that would be around 120lb.thought tread was what is the...
