!!3.9V8!! The Beast

[series3-2007]

hey guys, maybe a lil off subject and very different to some of your guys motors , but heres the little toy that i've been building for some time lol, when money allows, 39V8, 5 Speed Box, etc etc, intially designed as an offroader, but maybe a little more power is needed


Started Originally looking like this as per the ebay listing



Then went to looking half presentable



then ended up looking like a half cut up pile of scrap

Looks like a cool project. It may be worth sticking the original alloy U bends back between the carbs and K&N's, should improve your torque slightly, or at least a good few inches of smooth pipe anyway!

Not sure with the V8 but on my 200tdi I noticed a difference in power when I took the viscous fan off the front, just use an electric one now but it only gets used about 1% of the time if that- (I dont expect your V8 to run as cool as my diesel though )

p.s. would you like to shink the last couple of pics- cant see them on one screen and have to scroll to see your text

p.p.s. nice bright blue axle!!!

It's not that different to my Landie, so you're not the only one!

oh oops, yeah i'll shrink that down as soon as i get back from work lol, yea the vicous is gone lol, quite an old picture, with the ups and downs with weather dont get enough time to take pictures lol, try and get as much work done as possible, yea theres a 17" electric fan to be fitted, should be more than aqquedate to cool it lol
