Thread: SIX Grill badge

Thanks to the kindness and generosity of Dfendr from this forum I now am the proud owner of a SIX grill badge. My 1967 NADA 109 with a 6 cylinder engine will wear it proudly and be thankful to its Australian brothers.

Hi Paul

Would you mind doing something for me?

The NADA spec six cylinder were mostly Westlake head engines but we don't have them here because of the Right Hand steering. Can you take a couple of pictures of your engine and post them up?

Also can you measure the distance from the head to the outside of the inlet manifold? The main part and also where the carby fits onto the manifold?

Were trying to work out if the inlet manifold is the same as the 110 or the 3 litre Rover car engines.

I will post pictures of the engine and get the measurements you need tomorrow.

Here are the photos. There is a picture of the engine in my rover. The others are from my spare engine, from which I took the measurements.The last photo is of the head with nothing attached. Hope this helps let me know if more info is needed.
Block to intake manifold-17cm
Block to center of carb-25.5 cm
Overall-38cm

Having trouble loading more than one photo at a time

Here is another

Last one of just the head.

Now this is the last one

Thanks Paul!

You're having a lend of us, aren't you? We may be down under but we don't need the piccies upside down!

It even looks like the air cleaner/silencer off the Rover 3 litre. Will measure up my 3 litre tomorrow.

Thanks again.

Am I right in thinking that all Series 3 LWB were six cylinders?

Thanks
Nathan.

No. Probably most Series 3 lwb were fours, but the six was available I think over the entire production period, with the V8 from 1979?. Four cylinder engines were the 2.25 petrol and diesel, and in Australia the 3.9 Isuzu for the last few years of production. (and other engines in a few markets)

As far as I know, there was no time in Series 3 production when only one engine was available, although this would certainly have been the case in a few markets - for example, I think the six may have been the only one sold in the North American market. All Australian military Series 3 were sixes.
