Ha, yeah it will be a gentle goer to say the least!
Will ask for further research!

I had a 161 in my series 1 - not much extra zoom, zoom over the standard 2 litre. In my series 3 (looks a lot like yours) I had to recondition the 2.25 and when back on the road its performance was certainly a match for a holden 6.
With your Series 3 - if the engine runs and the conversion is OK then leave it - sometime later you might want to reconsider but the reality is that the Holden engine is part of LR history in Aust and there is not much difference in performance between the two engines to make it worth while changing things around unless you really want originality.

I can't contribute anythng helpful to this thread. But geez, a Series 3 SWB for a slab!?! Massively jealous! :D
I can't believe it took 3 pages until somebody mentioned that.Quote:

Hahahaha! Yep, deal of the century for a running car! I was wondering why no one really picked up on that!
Sadly my next purchase (a decent 130) might cost a little more!
