You could try Les Richmond Automotive, in the Northern suburbs of Melbourne. Check their website/Facebook etc.
Never been there, but they do some very interesting custom L.R. stuff, LS engine conversions etc, they're currently placing an LS3 & 6 Sp Man into a Puma Defender,..and it's looking good.
I've never been there, but from the pics & articles I've seen, they really do seem to know what they're doing. I think there's a guy on this site with a grey/silver Puma 90 that gets his work done there.
Worth a phone call, I'd reckon,....let us know what they say.

would the internals know the difference between low boost turbo and low boost SC?

Les Richmond a good suggestion thanks.

Pedro - I have no idea - are you suggesting a low boost turbo is an option?

Regards

[bigwhistle]
options are good!

but no,, more a tech question than anything,,

its just from the way you worded it,, [smilebigeye]

Forum Member D90 orkney is the forum member who's had a considerable amount of work done on his Puma 90 X Les Richmond,...you might do well to speak to him?

Nice lookong p38! It looks from the pics and the p38 registration plate like it's bbeen well loved!

Thanks for the compliments. I bought it for my dad. He drove me and my three sisters around Australia in 1975 for 6 months in a series III LWB when I was 8 years old - across the Jardine; followed the train track across the nulabor etc - thus began the love of land rovers in our family. When he fell sick 12 years ago he said he wanted to do one last drive - he always wanted a range rover but could never afford one - so I bought one for him to do one last drive - unfortunately he passed away before I could give it to him so he never knew - so it gets looked after. I'm also starting to do a ground up restoration of that same series III when I return to Melb form a year in the Uk in a couple of months. Cheers
