Hi Derek,
it was a Ford 'Classic Conul', it went pretty well but was ruined for me by having an auto box

Hi All,

Just to kick it all in the air.

I have been offerd a 4.0l out of a landrover p36 and its a 60.000 mile job

He is asking about £300 for it

What do you think? good buy or not?

Would this be a stronger engine than the old landy 101 that i have at the moment?

also buy being a 4.0l will the p6 timing case and front pulley still fit it?

Cheers

Many thanks to Kev the mol for the help in getting this made up

Cheers

Hi,

I am thinking of getting a 3.9 engine and rebuilding it for use with the blower

Would it be a better engine for supercharging with the wade blower?

Is the engine going to be stronger than the old 101FC engine? or should i cary on with the 101 rebuild?

Thanks again

Derek

Hi
The 101 engine is based on the P6 block and heads, the later 3.9 is stroger and has better oil seals and an extra 400cc which is always a good thing you would want a set of later non P6 heads anyway.

Thanks Mike

I have seed and driven the car that the engine is in and it seems to be fine so i will grab it then

i have got a set of 3.9 heads that i am rebuilding at the moment so i will bolt these on when i get the engine also fit the new blower cam

I will make my manta go

Many thanks

No substitute for cc's even with a blower as well!

3.9 is a good engine, go for it. As you're only running low boost it should happily handle it.

Have a look at some of the other threads on this subject, the problem with the Wade is that its only good for 5000 supercharger rpm. As a result depending on the motor size it won't make a lot of boost.

Thanks guys

I have now got the 3.9 an will start to get it built up with the heads and bits

I am wanting to run around 6-8 psi when done so no looking for big boost

I have kind of worked out with a 20 % reduction I should never hit the max blower speed of 5500 rpm


Thanks
Derek

any updates on this as i was the lad that sold it to you and was wondering how you were getting on with it

[stagcar]

Hi mate yes it's still work innprogress. I had it all up and running but the engine was rather dead so I am building a 3.9 to drop in the hole.

Big problem is time as but the good news is I have moved to a house with a big garage so work can once again be done the manta got through it's mot tho so not all bad


Will keep you posted mate

Cheers
Derek
