Thread: What am I doing in this corner ????

Gearbox is probably a Ford Borg Warner 3 speed aftermarket kit or possibly a Torque Flite. A picture of its sump would help.

Check if the engine is seized, use a socket on the crank shaft.

And the number will be short, like about 6 digits, and will start with 44.......... or something like that.

Well I was close.............

4th attempt, mirror, rag, torch and I found it.
44171918.
Thanks for the help finding it. **** of a place.
Will take some pics of the Auto Box, to ID it, tomorrow.
I see in the Haynes Manual, which came with it, mention a Diff lock ????
20/50 Oil in these motors, diff oil the same as my S3 ? ATM fluid in Gearbox, is nice and red, unless it has settled with dirty stuff at the bottom. Transfer case ? Swivel, oil or one shot ? Part No for small original inline fuel filter (Repco)
White mould in on the seatbelts, what would be best to wipe it with, also door cars have 'spotting' so need a wipe over.
Dot 4 brake fluid ?
The challenging side, it trying to work out what all the extra wires, relays and bits do

Well Done on your scoring the Range Rover, plus not having to pick it up yourself. I reckon you cannot get much better than that! Have fun with your new project.

Kind regards
Lionel

Thanks Lionel.
Better if it fires up
Then wash. clean, blue slip rego.
The Hundreds of Hrs on my S3 Rebuild, never again.
Patina, and get going
Updates and more questions to come.
Big wash, clean weekend ahead.
Maybe Named Doc or Hudson, after the Old, heavy slow 'Cars" Hornet. 4.4 under the bonnet.

Don't want to be a wet blanket here, but I don't think it is a P76 engine, the raised oil filler is odd. Had a P76, Rover SD1 and still have RRC, and the P76 had filler on left side flush with rocker cover, carb conversion was pretty common in those days I still have a manifold with single Stromberg on it to suit Rover engine sitting in shed. It was a good conversion provided you did not want to climb any steep hills, which is way manifold found it's way back on the shelf. Hope I'm wrong because the Leyland was a very gutsy engine. As well as the P76, brother had one in his 2A shorty (not the smartest combination!)

Hi Joe,
Had forgotten about steep terrain and Stromberg carbies.
Would the engine spell out type of motor.
Thanks.
