It’s prety common knowledge that a Buick 300 crankshaft can be used to increase the stroke of a rover block. I’d like to know if there is an off the shelf crankshaft that would drop into a 4.6 block??? A few google searches revealed some hope but it seems that the few I see are no longer in...

Does anyone have any info on supercharging a P38. 4.6 in particular. Im thinking a scrap Jaguar AJv8 may be similar. I could use the charge coolers then??

does anyone know of a decent company/machinist that can port a pair of V8 cylinder Heads. Preferably in the midlands. I know there’s some good specialists out there however money may be a contributing factor as to where this can be done.

I'd like to say that 'when' its finished I will have something like a Dakar machine. But when were being serious I will end up with a high powered road/ off road vehicle. I'm not expecting it to climb quarries but Want something that's going to have zero trouble in sand/mud etc.

To Quote Mark Evans... 'In the late 1970s, Land Rover built 15 very special vehicles for the Swiss Army. They were a hybrid of other vehicles being built or developed by Land Rover at the time, like the early Range Rover and the embryonic 110. They were called the 100 inch Land Rovers and they...

4.6 so it’s a later one. That’s very much a work in progress. It’s easy to be ambitious but then you dial it back as the costs spiral.

I have a v8 I intend to use. Will they drop straight into a d1?

For a long time I’ve wanted to build a defender on a 100” chassis. I think the RRC would be the easiest to obtain. Is there a detailed description of the mods that need to be undertaken. I’m surprised that somebody hasent put together some sort of guide.

Thanks Owas. That was quite an interesting document. Do you have anything on the 'ballistic' screens?

is it possible to retrofit an armoured windshield into a standard defender? Would make an interesting piece.

Researching stroker kits for a 4.6v8. Can anyone recomend or point me in the right direction. I would like to get somewhere in the region of 5.0. What con rods and pistons would match??

Thanks ER1C, I guess you could say Blue Prints yes. I'm a 3D product designer by trade so can do some pretty cool things once I have a base to work from. I was hoping not to have to disassemble and take measurements. I have some ideas for the 4.6 cylinder heads but couldn't find drawings.

This is surely a long shot but I'd love to get my hands on copies of the old production drawings from Land Rover. I'd love Defender Chassis drawings as well as anything from my 4.6V8. Does anyone know where to look or who to ask? I'm sure Land Rover themselves would have no interest in this...

What about spec for a purpose built part?

Hi there, I'm looking to swap the conrods in my 4.6 for some light weight forged items. Does anyone know the dimensions I should be specifying?
