Thanks for the warm welcome from senior members - my landy has had a new chassis and a total rebuild - up-rated gearbox, axles, brakes, diffs etc.

There is a thread on V8 section of Landyzone - see link below

had a TVR 4.3 in there before which was a hoot but after the overfinch disco finally gave in to corrosion I thought it was time to build a true monster.

going for exhaust on friday, trimmer on Monday and MOT at end of next week.

Will keep you all posted
