Actually it's better with the wider front track in some situations.

Sorry for the thread diverge, back to your regular V8 viewing.

Mmmm...not to labour the point..but my instincts tell me a wide front plus narrow rear makes it even worse cause it transfers weight disproportionally to the rear..bit like a morgan three wheeler if you take the front/rear wide vs narrow geometry to the extreme😎

I'll stop yota bashing now☺

Hey this thread is about issues with a Rover V8 engine - it has nothing to do with the rear track of a Landcruiser.

Focus

As mentioned earlier, it looks like I’ll be installing a 4.6L long motor.
I’m pretty sure I won’t have too many problems getting the short motor out, however not too sure how easily the long motor will go in.
Is this doable with the radiator in place? I really hope so as I don’t feel like taking it out...again.
Any ideas on how to rig an engine leveller to a long motor? No headbolts to tie to.

From memory there are steel lift eyes x 2 on these motors. At a guess bonnet off should be doable. Ask Murray mate. Cheers

There should be one at the front of the engine on the passenger side and one at the rear on the drivers side.

does it come with the bigger inlet tubing/maf?

My 4.6 was from a pre Thor p38A. Not sure what year Biggin has scored. Cheers
