[MacMan]

I was at a wedding in Metung and eyeballed that Rangie rolling around town. Certainly sounded different to the common garden variety 3.9. :D

Naaawwwwt Bad, Reads up well!

Its been Said before, Pics or Didnt happen!

[PeterM]

I'm doing some homework with respect to putting an LS1 in the disco so I'd be really interested to know/see what they had to do with respect to the conversion (including the gas).

[88classic]

Hey guys I was Having trouble uploading pics so i had to put them in my
profile so check em out ,,ill get more up when its finished..

:( i hate computers.

[PeterM]

What photo hosting site are you using? Most should allow you to put a direct link in (the ones with [img] tags in it).

[88classic]

I was uploading straight from my windows picture library..
I am only learning about this as its the first site i have actually suceeded
excuse my computer skills..:(

[PeterM]

Not an issue, sign up for a photo hosting site like photobucket or imageshack for free and then you upload your photos to there. You can then link to those photos in the forum. :cool:

IS this one that you have done? is it running LPG Injection? interesting mounting of the A/C compressor too!

[PeterM]

Good questions Cal, I think I may need to have a chat with rovercare about a Gen3 conversion in the future if that's the case.

Its not my conversion, it looks neat though:)fit and finish has a little to be desired though

I had stopped doing conversions for people, but hopefully within the next few months, I have secured a mechanic from the UK, whom used to build very fast evil pommy buzz boxes, so I am hoping to set him up out of my shed, so I may be looking to drum them back up again

With his excellent work standard and my technical support (to busy playing electrician these days to do full converions on my pat malone) it should work well, with the as always, low overheads

He will be partaking in hte rest of my duramax conversion, so he can glean the how too's on them aswell

[raglan_jack]

does your other rangie there that you pulled the diffs out of have an aluminium centre console? looks like its my old rangie i built

[88classic]

its got a stainless console that came with it ...

[88classic]

Damm had to re-do the front diff as the pinion was a little worried so all good now .. fitting nissan shocks in the rear at the moment ..then gonna throw some new sexy control arms at her add a few snorkel s some bead lock rims 36" tyres and we are off to see burnt out bushland DAMM......

[redrover]

hi guys im putting a 6 ltr gen 3 in my rangie and i was wondering what engine mounts were used in this conversion. advice and pics would be awsome .
Cheers redrover

[PeterM]

From all the information I have been able to find the engine mounts are a custom job as no production items have been made up as yet.

[rovercare]

You can buy ls to chev adaptor plates for the engine mounts then use chev to rover, but then you still use the crappy rover mount

[redrover]

Ok Buy from where??

[CJT]

Check out the link below, lots of parts available from Marks 4wd Adapters.

Search results for: 'rover' (http://www.marks4wd.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=rover)

[redrover]

i have already talked to marks adaptors and they cant help because the have not done this conversion in house

[rovercare]

i have already talked to marks adaptors and they cant help because the have not done this conversion in house

Thats normal, they are crap anyway

The chev to rover mounts are from marks, chev to ls from the likes of summit racing

Example https://shop.rocketindustries.com.au/products/MO62555

[PeterM]

Better off just using the LS mounts and doing some work to fit them to the stock chassis?

[redrover]

thanks for the help guys i ended up getting an engineering mob up the road to make a set. Oh and sorry for hijacking the thread

[88classic]
