Thanks for the thought Mikee, It's not necessaraly an early V8 block I need, just a V8 block. The Rangie in a 1989 3.5 EFi and I hope the heads, front casing, flywheel and EFi inlet will fit. If not then the other two engines are later ones so I'll be able to find one I'm sure.
The main problem is getting hold of a good one ASAP as the Rangie is in bits on a ramp in the garage and I don't what to have to leave it there for too long. :wink:
Wolfie:
There are differences between the P6 block and your current one. P6s have the old rope oil seal on the crank. I don't know if the heads etc will fit but can ask my tame V8 expert. His view from your initial info was that you'd probably be better going for the 90 engine.
Regards
Andy

If I had the time then I would have gone for the 90 but as it is we need the Rangie back on the road for urgent repairs to the Disco! :roll:
The plan is to get the engien back together with what we have and then I may get the 90 engine, rebuild it and then replace the one we're putting in the Rangie now.
I got the block this morning, took it to the garage and stripped it down to the block, crank & pistons ready for a good steam clean. Everything look good on the block, it all came apart without any problems and is nice free.
