--- Quote from: "MattW" ---Why do you want to change a Series into something that it's not? It's a lot of hastle.
You'r better off getting an old Defender or a v8 Range Rover?

Thanks for the support.
Your yellow machine lookis nice too i noticed on an earlier question you'd done a lot of re wiring, got a weekend free?!
Nothing beats the sound of the V8 rumble and if we'd never experimented we would still all be wearing fur, hunting with spears and looking like an extra on a Volvic advert
Regards

The easiest way I can think to do it would be to fit a 90 front end (cunningly disguised as a Stage 1 by using a metal grill - no boingy rubbish plastic see?), get totally shot of the 2.25 mounts and the gearbox mounts, fit the V8 right up front a-la a stage 1 (or Mark's yellow SWB) and use a range rover auto box & transfer box. You'll have permenant 4wd (although there is a mod to convert the manual LT230 transfer box to selectable 4wd) If you go that route your props will be the same as Mark's - so copy him!  :lol:

Many moons ago Ashcrofts produced a kit to fit the Borg Warner 66 auto box from Jags to the series transfer box, that keeps the series front end but finding one may be a hassle.
