Thread: how do you rate 6 cyl series rover engine

Ah engine storys,
reminds me of a what a good mate did years ago, bought a brand new CJ6 jeep, with the rambler 26?? motor in it, couldnt; get it to go fast,( he liked to drive fast an absolute lunatic) so did everything he could to it, some bloke told him that if he got a diamond tipped drill bit and drilled a hole in a secret spot in the carby it would go like a V8,
it didn't work, even remember his father telling him that the gearing wouldn;t allow it to go like my HJ Monaro!.


just plod along its easier.


ohn

OMG, I learnt to drive on a '69 Crown ute.
4 speed on the column and wind out quarter vents.
Terminal brake fade (twin leading shoes were good for three big stops) and terminal oversteer.....in the dry.

Actually loved it to death, which it was fast approaching as I was the umpteenth apprentice to flog, er, drive it.
