    4.6 onto a d1 automatic?

    Only for the simple reason of I happen to have a 4.6 kicking around that’s done nothing.. but I think for simplicity I might just try and get the lot out of a D1.. 3.9 will be lively enough for what I want out of it..

    4.6 onto a d1 automatic?

    The X1 ref is down to my fat fingers on the iPhone Should be D1.. im wanting to go “back to basics” as far as possible.. Building myself as I’ve not had a true project for myself for a while..

    4.6 onto a d1 automatic?

    Is it possible? I’m kind of hoping Rover being Rover the bellhousing is the same across them all so a D1 v8 auto box would fit to a 4.6 v8 from a p38 RR. Going into a defender project want to keep it all LR st-and are parts as far as possible.

    And so it begins the development of DiscoveRaid

    It's the first time I've ever done a build blog but I wished i had on other builds so it's nice to see others taking some interest.. We now have the passenger sill cut out and the new "regulation spec" 100x60x3.6mm section cut and offered up ready for welding.. this weeks job on a night is to...

    And so it begins the development of DiscoveRaid

    Ok so plans had to change a little, having starting to look at the structural integrity of the shell we find it's had an even harder life than first thought, the passenger floor has rotted beyond patching and both he inner and outer sills on the passenger side are dead and have been plated over...
