Jonnie You can fit a 4.6 engine with your existing setup - you just need to swap over the front cover and camshaft for a long-nose type - and buy a 20 quid crank spacer from Turners or RPi You are taking a massive risk tough in buying a 500 quid 4.6 from somewhere. My recommendation is to...

Thanks for all positives lads I am not too sure about these 'Vogue' alloys as they are called They were an upgrade option along with the Comet type Although some folks like them I prefer the more common hurricanes that Would have been standard in 2003 Anyone want to swap?

4k plus my 1992 D1

Johnnie there is a whole heap of engineering involved in any conversion - chevy small block is the easiest, but you said you just want a reliable engine with decent power. I have a solution There is a 4.6 range rover on ebay for 1500 quid - has top hat liners etc all proper. I have spoken to...

Just got this lads............................................. 2003 V8 ES7 Auto 63000 miles full LRSH Silver with black interior 6mm matching wranglers all round Turner Engineering top hat liner engine 3000 miles ago. virtually unmarked. Couple of minor issues - CD...

I am in total rapture with this car Just tried to call but no answer - hope it is as genuine and sweet as it looks If it is - and still available - I will be buying it ES is lovely but electric seats restrict front seat movement.

Zen Viper Hurricane is great as well - and 50 quid cheaper - but they don't always have them in stock - H180 easy to get - agree with your comment about rockers etc. Comparing the grind with H180 - very slightly different but both give great improvement in mid range and slightly better off-idle

Just put a kent H180 in it - costs about 300 in parts (cam, lifters, gaskets, rocker post shims etc) and any competent mechanic can do it in half a day. TVR fuel map will be all wrong - the torque curve starts about 2500 rpm which is just where you need it in a 1000kg roadster - not ideal...

Ladies ladies ladies The internal fuel map provides about 30% less fuel for the 4.0 than for the 4.6 and so it needs to be adjusted - GEMS does have some learning and self-adjust capabilities but not enough to compensate for the difference in this case. Mark Adams of tornadosytems.com will...

is anyone in a position to collect a RRC roof panel from near RAF Brize Norton and drop it off in warrington? Needless to say a good few beer tokens will be provided PM me if you can help Griffman

PM sent

Sounds like a duff dizzy to me RPI in Norfolk have a job lot of ex-MOD genuine Lucas distributors for 75 quid a piece. Just ftted one into my disco - lovely. Whatever you do do not be tempted to purchase the Britpart alternative - with the blue cap - in my experience they cause more problems...

what you need is one of these 6.3 litre chevy, auto box, smooth, comfy, fast

also 4.0 is cross-bolted

You are going to cause yourself a whole heap of headaches by going down this route You have a motronic ecu and a ZF EH 22 gearbox which in principle coi Uld go in but you have a TD5 loom in your defender. You would have a much easier time if you just buy a decent V8 90 with a galvanised...

It was one of Derek Allfrey's customers - actually the rozzers caught the thieves - members of a certain mobile travelling community - with the car and about to undertake some caper involving theft of valuable metals from a railway line. Believe it or not they were let off with a caution...

no - just an enthusiast I had it up for 2750 WITHOUT the monster engine and either the V8 it now has or a 300tdi fitted. It has sold by the way......................for 2750

Hi Fellas relisted my offroader with freshly built 3.9, brand new Edelbrock intake and 500 carb, Real Steel viper hurricane cam, Ashcroft R380 and 1.4 transfer boxes, sold, fast, reliable, tax and MOT - £2000 start and no reserve thereafter. land rover discovery V8 manual off-road racer |...

you can all go over to German/Swiss border to visit the collection if you like - see the link below. Well worth a visit - the best private collection around - they have perfectly restored examples of just every series model and variant - now they are looking for survivors - original cars as...
