Thinking of v8 into my series 3 SWB

Wouldn't touch a 4.6, 3.9 at max or a 3.5 stroked to 5.5 if not move onto chevy blocks etc

Big RR engines are pointless

lol just the rad Dr

£60 .... and ive got a 3.9 V8 you can have second refusal on 95k miles

When I did my 3.5 V8 into a 2a 88 conversion in about 1975 , i used a 2a HD 5 core rad slightly shortened to sit on top of front cross member, and cut away the ducting on the rear of front panel , as i wanted to retain headlamps in centre front panel. Remote oil filter, mocal oil cooler, used 3.5 flywheel drilled to take jag cover, diesel 2.25 friction plate and jaguar 3.8 cover (pressure plate) . cut and welded bulkhead to give clearance for ex manifolds . I used the 11a box and it handles it ok . Used 4.1 diffs and o/drive, 7.50 tyres and pto with Hyd winch. 6cyl 1 ton braking system complete. The clutch pedal was quite stiff , but never had any slip problems . HTSH

Thanks for that Tacr2man
Just trying to sort rad at moment EGG, but will hopefully sort somethng with you soon
