Thread: 302W EFI into Classic Rangie

    Ok, made some progress over the weekend after finishing my other side project.
    Got the engine and box sitting in roughly where it's supposed to be.
    I'm having some difficulties getting everything sitting where it should.
    The question I have is the LT230 gearbox mounts look to be different than the LT95..... is this the case ? ? Does anyone have any photos of the mounts off an LT95 bolted up ?
    I had to bring everything forward by about 5/8" to clear heater pipes ect. on the fire wall. Hopefully this wont trouble the drive shafts
    Got the engine mounts roghly made up, but need to get the gearbox sitting right before I go any further.
    Will takes some pics shortly.

    Cheers,

    Peachey.

    the holes in the chassis are in the same situ, but one mount that bolts the the LT230 is different, the small little pressed tin one is used of both sides of an LT95, the manufactured on on the LT230 is the odd one out

    Thanks mate,
    That's about where I'm at. Passenger side looks fine, but the drivers looks on a completly different angle. Might just make something up...

    Here's as she sits..








    Here's the passenger side...... moved forward a bit.


    and drivers side, after I modified it to move forward, looks like nothing close to being right......

    Thanks Rovercare, but I ended up finding a couple sitting around.
    Made up the engine mounts, and modified the gearbox mounts to bring the engine forward and half inch to clear the heather pipes. It's got a 2" lift kit, so the front drive should still be the right length. I'm going to make up a spacer for the rear.



    Modified a set of Range rover extractors and welded up a flat plate drilled to accept the ford heads, also cut out the o2 sensors from the Falcon and welded to them.



    But she's all mounted in and sitting where it should.



    I had to cutt a piece of the lower drivers side bracket where the idler for the serpantine belt runs to clear the steering box, so will need to modify that to re mount the idler.
    I've since made up a bracket to run the rangie air con, I ended up just running an older v-belt crank pully bolted on the front of the exisisting pulley, so the air con will run on a seperate v-belt.

    Still got alot to do.
    throttle cable, fuel line, surge tank and return, power steering pipes (falcon-range rover), Wiring, heater pipes, thermos......... but getting there.

    What exactly is this ? I was going to have a guess at some sort of charcoal canister ????



    Do I need it for the fuel tank to breath?

    Cheers,
    Shayne

    Correct its a charcoal can, the motor should have an ECU operated purge valve, which connects to manifold vacuum, that goes to a charcoal can

    Oh Crap, Sorry buddy, Didn't mean to stuff you about.....

    The EF does have the electronic pressure relief in the tank that is controlled by the ECU, but wont be using that.

    What does the C P and T stand for on the top ?

    What is the best way to setup this do you think ? Do you need to run the canister ?

    Cheers mate.

    RR Geez Mate, if I had a genuine T code JG33 Falcon GT engine with 4V heads I would be advertising it on one of the GT Falcon forums, it's worth more than your whole Rangie.
    Would be a pig of a motor in a 4WD car as they have bugger all torque below 2000rpm and a good 250lbs heavier than the Rover engine, Regards Frank.
