    rebuilt my v8 3.9 EFI

    Thought I share my rebuild of a 1994 disco 1 3.9 v8. This was pretty much a full rebuild and my first, I haven't run it up yet until I get in the defender its built for. But if nothing else it looks like it will work :-) Got the Auto box as an exchange unit (just below the V8)
