Would it be sacrilege

[Blknight.aus]

If I got my hands on an Ex military vehicle that had the 2.25p in it to drop the 2.25D into it?

[dobbo]

How can an agnostic refer to something as being sacrilegious?


do it, with VSI50 coming up it would be stupid not to have a vehicle with a standard 2 inch suspension lift, strip Fossy and rebuild it on a mil spec chassis

[Blknight.aus]

I found out something about that.....

its not backwards enforceable on vehicles that don't require an engineering certification, is available as a fittable option on the base model or is a permissable modification under the relevent ADR's for the time.

Basically if its old school its cool. and If its already engineer approved it should also be cool. If its against ADR's (I believe even if it is engineer approved) your screwed.

so now I need to find me a IIA.

But thats not what this thread is about.

and Im not agnostic Im an athiest. actually having just re-read the two definitions I fit both.

If you own you have the right to with it what you wish, Dave. Burn it upon a pire, if you so desire.

Given that agnostics always live like atheists, the term agnostic is pretty well redundant. Whatever their belief, agnostics operate as atheists. For instance, you've never seen an agnostic Christian, or Muslim. The agnostic claims he doesn't know - that's what the word means - if there is a god or not, but then lives as though there isn't any. The atheist just says that there is no God and lives that way (most of the time). So the atheist is actually more consistent.

I don't think it's sacralidge, from our information the army fitted diesels to a few that operated in sensitive areas anyway. Only a handful, but as engine conversions go, it would be a good one IMHO.

[one_iota]

No it won't be a sacrilege or a "sacralige"

However in Ron's eyes the spelling of the word might be. :p;)

[isuzutoo-eh]

its better to have another one on the road than parted out or scrapped

[Newbs-IIA]

Gee I hope not... I plan on doing exactly the same on my IIA GS :D :D :D

Do it Dave... then you can help me do mine :p

[keith]

having driven many many miles in a 2.25 petrol landy in my younger years, I would say anything to make it go better would be great.

Cheers Keith

Did you hear about the insomniac , agnostic , dyslexic.

He lay awake at night wondering if there really was a DOG :)

you crack me up Mahn :D:D:D

convert it, but try to convert it in such a way that it can be returned to original down the track if need be.

Gaffa tape and cable ties??????

[incisor]

to some, i imagine it is

BUT

WHO GIVES A FLYING FIG...

thats what i am doing to mine....

[isuzurover]

I fitted a 2.25D to my 109GS. It was the best mod I have done.

But then I also have SIII axles and a few other minor mods. I'm sure Diana (and probably a few others) would have me up on charges if it were possible. But I would like to see those with original mil spec vehicles (including bar treads) drive across Australia in theirs... ;)

It is your car - do what you want. Apart from a few extra holes in the firewall and chassis, it should be possible to return to original spec later if desired.

Actually, I've known people who've said, 'I have no proof (therefore I do not know if) there is a god, but I'm going to live like there is one, just in case'. sounds like a Christian Agnostic to me.

[JDNSW]

Go ahead. I planned on doing this to mine, but after assessing the likely costs of doing up the diesel engine I had, I decided to keep the petrol engine - and sold the engine.

John

[paulthepilot_5]

Well it's a Landy engine engine you want to put in it, so no big deal really. I say go for it, you're wallet will thank you for the fuel savings :)

I'd love to slot a 200 Tdi into a 2a. I say go for it Dave.

In that case, a 2.25l Diesel is not an option :):cool::eek:

I don't see a reason why it should be considered a sacrilege, as you are only swapping one original manufacturer engine for another contemporary model of the same manufacturer. Outside Oz, there were several military Land Rovers fitted with just the Diesel engine.

[Slunnie]

I think that if its a working vehicle then do it. If its been restored back to it military specs doe the sake of authenticity then leave it as a petty.

I already have a patent on that engine adaption kit. If you like I can sell you a genuine one.

I can sell you a genuine imitation for less than the genuine vicari rug. We have Jaffa tape and gable ties on special for today only. :D

reminds me of the joke about the agnostic dyslexic insomniac.
He used to lye in bed all night and wonder if there really was a dog....!

[flagg]

You should keep it military and use a 4DB1 :angel:

[korg20000bc]

I've been thinking of doing this too. Replace the petrol, but keep it, and put in a diesel.
Did the army ever use the 5 bearing diesel in their diesel conversions?

I doubt it - five bearing engines are as scarce as hen's teeth in Australia.
