In fact we decided to use 4.6 heads instead. Aren't we all doing it mostly for the fun of it rather than as an effort for the maximum possible specifications?

Thanks for both comments - the engine is going into my little Land-Rover rat rod, a SI 86", so no particular concerns about high performance, this will be just an occassional music for the ears :twisted: The heads will be from an SD1, the timing cover from a 3.9, there will be a boxer manifold on to...

SD1 cam in a 4.6 V8 with a distributor?
It seems there's a good few people here who seem to pour data out of memory, so just a quick quiz question from the ignorant one :oops: Would an SD1 cam be any good in a 4.6 V8 adapted for distributor? Would this be a benefit or a deficiency performance-wise? Obviously there's a problem of the distr...

After having a 3.5 V8 from a P6 installed in a SI 86" and cooling it with an SIII rad with a Kenlowe fan, I think it might be the best to find some more substantial radiator. It does work most of the time, but I will be looking for a larger rad myself (been told some scrap Renault Espace rads might ...

Not much of a technical guru, but after having bought an LT77 I do have list of pages I went through when buying it. Some identification help can be had here: http://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk ... oductId=78

That's what I am used to from other UK forums and I never actually thought otherwise until I failed to receive the item two weeks later. My bad, should have used eBay, but sometimes you can't resist a bargain, can you :evil: All is not lost as I have found a friend who is located close to the addres...

V8 James
Hello everyone,
I'm having trouble getting my messages through to a user on here, V8 James. Does anyone here know him personally by any chance?
Many thanks,
Jan

Hello from the Czech Republic
Hi everyone, registered recently after lurking around the net to source some additional goodies for my 1954 Land-Rover Series I fitted with a Rover V8, either a P6 or SD1 lump.
