V8 into a series 2 lightweight??

<< < (2/3) > >>

Guardian.:
think you need to put defender front end on, as weve done a couple winch bumpers, and another just been ordered for a series with v8's in, and all have the defender front panels, bonnets etc, i guess to make a bit more space.
would of though a v8 would trash a standard petrol gearbox, not sure, but seems a bit of a beast for a stock petrol box.

Bob Ajob:
The gearbox would probably be OK if it's still a Series 2 gearbox with no syncro 1st & 2nd, if it's an all synchro box, then they're a bit weaker. I'm sure there's info on here about this, I've definitely seen the question about the conversion before, and it's definitely been done and done.

Welshbreed:
if ur going to go that far, why not put a rangie axle on and have the pas outta there too.

or just but a rangie running chassis with auto box, and put a series body on top

James.Harwood:
the series 2(a) lightweight is a rare car, why go hacking it up just for a V8, get a S3 lightweight to put the V8 in and keep the 2(a) as standard.

hobbit:
My friend has one in a s2a down the unit, with a milner conversion kit, onto a series box, its had the bulkhead modified to fit, but looks original round the front end though

I'll take the camera down today to get you a few snaps

I think this will be up for sale, but I dont know any details on it at the mo
