3.9 v8 efi auto into a 90 defender

yea i agree with you crazydave all battery acid ect,might give it ago on the rear bulk head

managed to do all the water pipes now just need to get a electric thermo switch for the fan.done a full janspeed exhaust and sounds sweet.got it booked in for a clifford alarm next week will add more photos tomz

Yup,that looks cool,
any chance of a few pics of top view,seems a lot of room between rear of heads and bulkhead,mind you big engine bay,lol
did you use the origenal 3 bolt holes in the chassis to mount auto box,spose using the rr prop no and what mounts did you use? as my rr ones were nicked, ,lol

hi ive used the original 3 bolt mount for the gearbox and cut off the rangy mounts off and welded to the defender,yes theres lots of room on mine

ive kept the defender front prop and the front prop off the rrc on the rear but this is for now till i get some beefed up props

Land Rover made a V8 auto Defender in 98 as a 50th anniversary limited edition. Here are some links and photos that may give you some ideas.

It was more that you wanted photos of an install. There were a lot of photos in those links.

yes mate im happy with it and done all myself ,few little jobs to do.but havent had chance to get any pics but i will update with pics tomorrow had a new window put in today also

and thanks for the links cheers makes me want a nas centre console but havent got £400+ at the min

here is how it is now all back together.and the rapter dash which ive had for 3 months and il try fit it next week

very nice mate but I would still prefer a rrc every time

yea but the defenders are worth more

oh and im only 26 not 46

Very nice,
like the dash panel,
don`t forget to tell the insurance about thay k&n filter thats about £30 on your insurance as its a mod,

dont really affect me as i work for my dad and im on traders insurance besides it cant bother me that much hence why i converted it to a 3.9 and thinking of going 4.6 later in the year i had a 500bhp scooby before this and that was modded to hell so k&n ant going to bother me cheers

im thinking of putting a high lift cam in do kent cams still do v8 cams or would you recomend another make need to be mild really but good for the efi set up

also whats the best ht leads to go for ?
