Most helpful thanks :D

yellow series 2a:
For all u people that say series v8 is not worth it well it is! I fitted a 3.5 efi into my series with a layland gear box with a series transfer box had to get difrent bell housing custom propshaft cut out bulkhead to fit bell housing, gearbox + engine oil cooler big fan tublier manifolds just fit and a custom exuast of a lorry makes it very loud!! Also its yellow so it stands out a lot of work but well worth it, also i brought a whole new chassie fitted rangie axels as they have cv's + you WILL need a servo fitted out of a series 3 and i fitted double cylinders on the front drum brakes . want any help just ask
Thanks

--- Quote from: "Kevs2A" ---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.

yep engine up front, custom made props, and knackers to the front UJ's. its done a couples of thousand miles since the conversion and no probs from the front axle yet.

What about seeing what ACR components have to offer.
2.8 petrol engine based on the 2286, stage 1 or 2 head, tubular exhaust manifold, sports silencer, new kam, k&n, then maybe see Zeus or Chris Perfect components for disc brake conversion.

Loads a fun to be had then......

Well thats my little dream, all i need is a couple of grand spare then.
