<< < (2/2)

stevepage3:
I have. Managed to find a mate who is breaking
a 3.5 v8 range rover. As I have never
changed am engine before I need help

the engine he has has carbs, and mine is
efi is it am easy swap and what are the pros
and cons

look forward to your responses

Range Rover Blues:
The EFi heads are better, plus they have a cut-out for the spray pattern.  The EFi had a bit more go than the carb model, better emisssions etc too.

You could swap the heads over without problem.

A V8 weighs about as much as a 2.0l Pinto, maybe a tad more.  There are 8 bolts on the bellhousing and 2 are a swine to reach, so nothing unusual there ;)

It's just big, getting the clutch to line up made me swear, a lot :evil:

Worth putting a new clutch in obviously, I got the flywheel skimmed too to get rid of the crazing.

stevepage3:
I have already done the clutch so that should save a bit of time.

What about electrical, is it just a case of unplugging the loom from the bulkhead and
plugging back in once the new engine is in place.

A little rewireing is required,need a different fuel pump because the one in the tank wont do for carbs.
