The V8 Owners Forum -

I may well know of a genuine 2wd R380. If anyone is interested drop me a pm and I will try and find out if it is still for sale.

cheers for the replies guys. When I get the block back I will give it some more thought. And let you know whats happening. I will contact those of you that have pm'd an interest in the block first.

cheers, Ian.

OK peeps, I'm after an honest answer as to how much my block is worth.
It is/will be a 4.6 crossbolted block bored to 96mm with top hat liners. Block is being done at the moment, but when I get it back it will be for sale to try and fund a chevy project.

perhaps I should ask about the block in the engines area?

Here are the photos of the rod and the crank. http://img175.imagevenue.com/loc541/th_63699_Crank1_122_541lo.jpg http://img167.imagevenue.com/loc466/th_63702_Crank2_122_466lo.jpg http://img40.imagevenue.com/loc386/th_63704_Crank3_122_386lo.jpg http://img166.imagevenue.com/loc303/th_63710_Rod_122_303l...

Thanks for the info wotland, I have got a 4.6 block that is being bored out for 96mm pistons and top hat liners put in. the crank was going to be modified to fit that. with that setup I was looking at something very close to 5.2. As stated above this is being sold to fund a chevy. once the block has...

slightly bigger than 4.6 ( is 4.6 2.5"???) think it came from a P76??

Yep, I was trying to get near 5.0 or bigger, but with different pistons.

can get one tomorrow

R380 runs ATF in a land rover, I've used Dexron 3 or 4 in a race motor, it lasts no probs.

Greetings all, Anybody give me a realistic value of what these bits are worth? I've had them for a while now lurking in my shed for a project, but have now decided to move them on to go towards funding a chevy. 1. 8 x new pistons 3 1/2" believed to be Holden with rods 6 3/8" centre to cent...

Hi all,

What width axle are you looking for or doesn't it matter?
What about a range rover or disco back axle, then buy a quaiffe diff for it?
Axle is dirt cheap.......
