If i decide to go for it. They will be doing chassis prep and attaching the frame work to chassis possibly get powder coating done at same time by there contacts. Thats why im digging about trying to find suitable engine option. So that i can take say isuzu engine with converter plate...

Still need suggestion regarding power plant to use... Should i just go for a jap based power plant be it petrol v8 lexus or isuzu 3.1 diesel??? Providing they will fit application. Or perhaps Bmw 540i engine dont no if that would work or not... Anyone???? regards adam

Hi all just wondering which V8 to use in a possible Tomcat build??? Been looking at Bowler wildcat engine options and they use Jag units. Which Rover V8 is the most reliable> When given a little bit of tuning? Which will stay somewhat reliable?? Plan on using manual box R380 Or Lt 85...

Diff ratio's where suggested by Paul at Tomcat. and Andy i typed in incorrect ratio> it's meant to be (4.75) As for Transfer box 4cyl defender (1.38 was suggested for accelration ( Or rrc viscous for reasonable top end and donut ability lol) Chassis type changed to RRC. Along with axles...

As above need some advice.. So far i've worked out running gear spec i hope. Isuzu 3.1Td engine R380/ Lt 85 Gearbox RRC 90/92 Transferbox for viscous coupling Tomcat own 4.1 diffs Disco 2 axles. Would anyone care to add to here if they think there's somthing needs changed or beefed...

Yeah used to like the old 131 dont see much about these days. Thanks for welcome... Anyway Gang im needing some advice surely theres a forum or some build thread somewhere of A Tomcat under construction??? What you think of this spec.. Disco 2 Chassis wider axle. 3.1 TD Isuzu unit...
