Love the crane, you must have more spare time than me........I just folded the engine crane and loaded it in my trailer. An old tyre thrown in for the engine to sit in.
Picture below is unloading when I got home.

The engine was covered in bird poo where they had been roosting under the bonnet ?!
If I get problems it will be handy for an alternator, starter motor, injection pump etc., it may even run.
4-branch manifold instead of the cast jobbie on the motor fitted.
The thermostat housing sits on a fabricated housing, not sure if this is original so maybe the original corroded away.

Hopefully your spare engine will help at some point in the future.
Seems there were quite a few Land Rovers converted, most seem to be LWB and I was told the motor in mine was from a LWB. Dellow don't have any spare parts his comment was "do you know how long ago I did these conversions.....?". Would be great to find an old advert or something detailing what it cost etc.
