    If it's lighter on fuel than the d1 v8 auto it won't bother me hahaha
    Was there much room at the front end for the fan?
    Or did you push it back to fit the box in?
    And did you engineer it or buy it built?
    Cheers

    To complete the conversion I think a diff upgrade to 3.54's would be necessary.
    There were a couple of Series 109's at Cooma that had the Ford 250 ci in them, one was fitted with a 2V head.
    The later cross flow motor engine would be a good choice and they were a very good engine conversion in the early Land Cruisers too.
    There are adaptor plate kits about for them, just a bit harder to find than the more common Holden conversions.
    My neighbor has a Series 2A 109 with a Ford engine, it's either a 200 or 250.
    One thing with the Ford/Falcon six cylinder engine conversion is that the oil filter fouls on the chassis, so you either need to modify the chassis
    to allow room for the Z9 oil filter, or use the short oil filter
    which I think was used on the early Fairlane's (? Z516).
    I am not familiar with the Falcon flywheel dimensions, but I imagine they would be large enough to accept a Land Rover 9.5" Series 3 clutch assembly.

    Cheers, Mick.
    IIRC, a Z89A is the short version of a Z9. These are fitted to Rover V8s

    The transfer case sat in the original position ,I cut a little bit out of the front cross member & filled it with a piece of angle iron .
    Not sure if I moved the radiator support panel forward [ possibly ]
    The cut out in the front cross member may have been to allow the radiator to move forward .
    Like I said , it was a long time ago .

    Phew, just walked down for a look.
    First, its not a crossflow Ford as both manifolds are on the RHS.
    Second, the gearbox is gone but it has a cast alloy adapter with Dellows cast on it. Still has the clutch and pressure plate. I assume it was a series box behind it.

    Well, anything that handles a Slant should handle a 250. Mind you..... I'd be wary of any large capacity six in front of a Series driveline.

    I imagine a Series vehicle with a Slant, carefully driven, would crawl silkily over just about anything. Oh what a lovely engine it was......
