  • 1:11 was that Mr Bean speaking in the background???

  • @yellowdisco I suppose I sound like a northern version of Mr Bean.

  • nice one, what gearbox are you using or did you make an adaptor plate?

  • @V8FORESTJIM Its a Spicer box which came with the engine. Apparently very good. Crawler 1st gear and overdriven 5th.

    I will be making a transfer box out of a series-3 box, but altering the ratio to overdrive the output. Not that easy to do but its possible with my machines.

  • Hope to see some more updates as the build progresses. My 2a rebuild/v8 conversion took 3 years to finish, been evolving for another 6 and nowhere near as complex as yours, Good luck, and look forward to seeing the finished article!

  • @V8FORESTJIM I want to get it running for June time for the land rover shows. Finished - that may take decades!

  • frog ftw!!!!!!

  • that drive shaft swinging around like that aint to good.

  • you could be upwards of 250hp with a turbo!thats conservative.

  • The main problem is the engine is as low as it can be without hitting the front axle, and it is 1/8" off the cab. As the turbo charger air manifold is another 8" higher, I would have to chop a lot out of the cab which is a lot of its strength. Also its more of a problem when they go wrong.

    As the original engine was 77BHP, and this engine is 130BHP, I think I will see quite a difference in its preformance.
