Thread: Series 2A petrol Dyno figures

Sorry, can't help you there.

But I am going to watch this thread with interest. I've never even conceptualised the words "Series IIA" and "Dyno" ever being linked...

Hello Bill,

I do not have dyno figures.

However, for those who may have the information; you will need to clarify what capacity petrol motor your 2A has.

Is it:

• a four cylinder petrol 2.25 litre, or
• a six cylinder 2.6 litre petrol motor?

Kind regards
Lionel

Or 2.25 diesel!

Yes sorry, I was after figures for a 2.25L 4 cylinder petrol engine.

Did the 2A come with a 2.6L petrol motor? What was the quoted power output for this? I thought this was only offered in the S3?

Do you have any reading material on this.

Much appreciated.

Bill

Hello Bill,

In 1967 the Long Wheel Base - 109 came with an option of either the four cylinder 2.25 litre petrol, the 2.25 litre diesel; or the 2.6 litre six cylinder petrol motor.

The Short Wheel Base 88 inch chassis only came with a choice between 2.25 litre petrol or the 2.2.5 litre diesel

This link provides a brief snapshot of the six cylinder engine - accessed 3rd March 2020 from, Land Rover Series 2A 2.6 Litre

Country: United Kingdom
Engine: 6L Petrol
Capacity: 2,625 c.c.
Power: 90 b.h.p. at 4,500 r.p.m
Transmission: 4 speed. manual

However, the Ho Har's did have a SWB Series 3 that someone had previously fitted a six cylinder 2.6 litre motor to.

Kind regards
Lionel

Hello Bill,

I just found this link that describes some engine specifications... Accessed 3rd March 2020 from, Power specs for engines commonly used in Series Land Rover engine conversion

Please consider that the author - TeriAnn Wakeman (2017), states that: These numbers were taken from multiple sources and I do not testify to their accuracy. I do think that they are interesting though...

I hope it is of some help?

Kind regards
Lionel

I'd think the 90b.h.p. quoted is at the flywheel. The figure at the wheels will be substantially less, and my guess this is the number the OP is after.

Hello Aussearcher,

I have to go back and agree with Johno1969's quote about dynos and Series IIA...

Kind regards
