zulublue:
The guy who checked it for me said the near side carb was pulling twice as much air as the off side, but he did not have the equipment around to alter, I have spoken to him today, and he said they are not SU carbs, Strombergs I think, so a wanted add going in for some SU's.

Might rip the engine and gearbox out and drop another one in!!!!

How difficult is it to put a wireing loom in? if I went for an EFi engine.

Range Rover Blues:
The later hot-wire would be the one to go for then, more reliable.  WIll work with a 3.5 but the EFi had better heads, manifolds and the 3.9 had a better cam than the 3.5, that's where the power comes from.

But the EFi loom is almost entirely stand alone, so you could strip one out and with a few wires connected (depending on how well you want to do the job) you can lay an EFi loom into your car almost as-is.

zulublue:
I dare say, there is going to be more to this than meets the eye, don't really know what is in there, the RR is an 82 but I am sure the engine is older as when I came to change the plugs it had the early model plugs.

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, I wish!!!!

Range Rover Blues:
If the bottom end is solid you could swap the heads for later ones, an early (say 89 to 92) EFi would fit without too much grief either way (make sure you get the airbox) othersiwe buy an engine that runs with the complete EFi system including loom.

It's not too hard to instal and there's plenty of us could help.

Budgie:
Before you go to all this effort of fitting an EFi loom etc, why not just get the carbs ballanced and, assuming it's Strombergs you've got, put new diaphrams in the carbs, refill the oil in the top of the pots and set the CO levels and ignition timing to see what it runs like when it's all set correctly?

it's not going to cost you much to do this and it maybe all your looking for!!  :wink:
