The V8 Owners Forum -

Hi folks, I have a remanufactured 4.2 V8 short engine bought from a closing Land Rover dealer a couple of years ago. I’ve changed direction in my project and now going to sell it. What is it worth. It’s currently built and fitted to my defender but never ran, heads fully rebuilt and composite gasket...

I was in a mad panic to get the build finished so I chopped up the P38 bracket. I cut along a rib and then buffed the cut roundy. It actually cam out pretty well after a lick of paint.

That's tasty and great idea. Will fab up one. Thanks Richard

Great thanks guys.

Hi Guy's

Anyone know the bolts I need for the bell housing to block on a RV8. I done a google search and not much coming up. I see RimmerBros sell a kit but I can get it a lot cheaper at my local bolt supplier if I know the sizes. Thanks

Shane

cool, thanks guys. Will have a look at the adaptor plate

Hi guys,

Installed a pair of edelbrock cam cover and noticed the threaded mount which is on the rover cam cover isn't there. I know these are meant for the Chevy engine. Did anyone come up with a fancy adapt and overcome or just leave the dipstick sitting there free as a bird. Thanks,

Shane

Not a bad idea. Could you stick up a photo of your just to give me a starting point.

The serp engine I have has air con and I want to remove it but not be left with the horrible bracket, does anyone know where I could get the bracket to tidy up the engine.

*Edit,

Anyone got a link to Rogers post, cant find it and nothing showing up when I search by forum name either. Thanks

Asking because I want to change me 4.2 to serp also

That's a pity. Ah well least I can stop looking. Thanks guys.
