Performance wise I can't feel any difference, but it sounds nice now, and there are plenty of those manifolds about for future replacements if required. It probably has made a difference to the performance, but with a 3.9 V8 in a series Landy there's enough power without modifications like...

If your talking about replacing this With these Then yes it can be none, but for me the best option was to fit them backwards (Left hand on the Right hand side and vise versa) so they exit forwards, this gives far more clearance as they are narrower this way around. The x-right hand, now...

Yep, it's normal, controlling factors are any brake drag, or even a slightly tighter bearing. Remember you have a differential front and rear so the power goes to the easiest side to turn. A quick adjustment of the brakes should see it even out a bit more (losen the slow wheel just a tad, but...

3.9 EFI Serpentine V8 :mad:

It is possible to replace the springs through the linkage cover at the top of the box without having to remove it. I've done this in the past, but beware it's very fiddly.

I should have added I'm also using 3.5/1 early rangerover diffs as well as the overdrive.

I love that very fist picture, just perfect. Looks a nice project.

The dome head rivets are aluminium as I'm sure you have seen, they are very soft so a manual rivet snap of the correct diameter and a hammer is usually all that's required. Interestingly all the rivet holes you can see on that picture on mine are filled with blind pop rivets from factory. Mines...

Worn bearings are what make these noisy. You can get all the bearings at low cost if you use the bearing numbers and not LR part numbers. I rebuilt mine earlier in the year, total cost of bearings was ~£80, I also replaced the main shaft, and input coupling £140, and £60 respectively. I now...

I would start with an ignition service, HT leads, Rotor Arm, Distributor cap, Condensor, and spark plugs. Do you have a picture of the fouled plug, does it look like any below? If it's like 3, 5, 6, or 7 you have oil contamination in the cylinder, probably from worn valve stem seals. V8's often...

One of the things you can do is check the engines emissions while adjusting your timing that will give a good indication of the correct timing, you need to monitor it's hydrocarbon output, as this dramaticly rises with advanced ignition timing.

Hyrdocarbons (HC's) are unburnt fuel, high HC's are usually a result of either a to weak fuel mixture or incorrect ignition timing (usually to advanced), it can also be a sign of a worn engine burning oil. I will also add that ignition timing does not have much of an effect on CO. I would say...

I would say that it's built out of filler in the rear right hand side panel, I don't see any rivets or sport welds showing though, though could just be the picture. Door's look fine, just sort the bulkhead foot-wells and any current chassis plating that needs doing then try for an MOT. Are most...

I bought the Gunson kit in the hope it would make bleeding easier, what a waste of time, none of the supplied caps fit, so I went back to the tried and tested method of having my mate sat in the seat pumping the pedal in turn with me opening and closing the bleed nipples. This has never failed...

Bit of a delayed catch-up, painting was finished a few weeks ago, I've been having to much fun to stop and upload but here goes. The back had not been touched as it was right up against the garage wall so nice weather and the "tent" disassembled meant I could get on this this area All primed...

I fitted exactly these, and they are part numbered the same as the Land Rover S3 parts catalog, fitted the correct way around my Landy sits perfectly level, and has stayed the same for a few thousand miles now. I'm more than happy with Britpart standard multi-leaf springs on my 88"

Is there an easy way to tell between the two bulkheads (4 and 6cyl) as I have an immaculate one in my shed with a seeking suspicion I removed it from a 6cyl around 14-15 years ago. For V8 conversions, length is not the issue, it's width, so I don't believe a 6 cylinder bulkhead will help. I had...

All I'm interested in are if it makes the vehicle more stable on the road, and what the end results on towing and carrying heavy loads? I've no need for extra axle articulation, and I definitely do not want to lift the vehicle as that's just going to make it more unstable. All I use it for is...

They sound perfect Rubins4, please let me know how you get on.

It looks like GB springs can supply standard and para's. I'll be interested to hear what they quote you for a set, and if you buy them how they feel on the road compared to your standard set-up, and if they give lift or are the correct ride height..
