Cheers. It was your site that started me on the ZF box last year. Really helpful!
I've got a specialist in Portsmouth that has said they will inspect for free and give a quote so hopefully once I've got my front panel measurements done I can whip the motor out and send it to them.

Rover V8 conversion in a '71 Marina
Moderator: phpBB2 - Administrators
Well it's been a while since I updated this thread.
Progress has been slow but we now have an LT77 instead of the ZF, a TR7 axle with 4 link, coil-overs and watts linkage (still to be tuned), and a new front panel and Chevy radiator. Space is tight so will be converting to a GEMS cover and megajolt so that I can fit twin fans.
The front suspension in next in the firing line with TR6/Scimitar 'A' arms and coil-overs to replace the torsion bars.

Just found this thread, always had a soft spot for the Marina ever since my Dad had one of the "Jubilee" models, it was far from standard with some tweeks inside the old B series engine that really made it fly, trouble was we were tuning the carbs almost weekly
I was gutted when he sold it to a mate of his who then totalled it 3 months later.
So a V8 Marina with some sorted suspension I am very much looking forward to seeing![Cool 8)](./images/smilies/cool.gif)

I could, I will have a look, but I've already cut the threaded part of the new pump!ChrisJC wrote:You could probably just stick the Range Rover P38 17" fan on it, and be done with any worries about cooling!

Wow, yes Jubilee models are getting rare. I think only 5 on the road these days..Spongo wrote:Just found this thread, always had a soft spot for the Marina ever since my Dad had one of the "Jubilee" models, it was far from standard with some tweeks inside the old B series engine that really made it fly, trouble was we were tuning the carbs almost weeklyI was gutted when he sold it to a mate of his who then totalled it 3 months later.
So am I. It's taken about 3 years at last count and there are still quite a few jobs to do.. especially as I keep changing different aspects of it.Spongo wrote:So a V8 Marina with some sorted suspension I am very much looking forward to seeing
