8) well i went down to the gold coast on the w/e to check out a donor landy. it has been semi dissassembled by someone who was gunna put a six cyl in, then got repo-ed by previous owner! 8O so no rad or rad support panel, it has a full set of sunraysias with 50% tread on bridgey desert duellers so i can have two sets of rims , complete new exhaust system, two new wiper motors,a monster big aluminium bullbar with spotties,an original hard top (not like the bodgey one on my beast!!)complete motor,plus much much more,!!!!!!!just gotta get it home now :roll: oh it only cost $400

8O That's a relief I thought it was another stars post...forgive my cynicism ops:

It sounds like a great find Ferno.

[fernockulated]

:? yes it is a GREAT find , so great in fact i dont want to dissassemble it just get another one and rebuild number two, all the panels are soooooo straight, just not ex-mil so it may end up as some sort of transmogrification, thats something i like doing!a hodge podge of bits and pieces!!!

Nice work ol bean [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

THIS THREAD IS USELESS WITHOUT PICS [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Sounds like a great score with some good bits. Although it sounds like you would be better off finishing the other one than doing up the current one almost [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]

great bargin, i'd love a good cheap donor (I coulld do with a straight front right wing ops: ). No space for one unfortunately, but then again, we have to sell a car as it is at the moment (no, not the landy)

So how do you put a Cleveland into a Landrover? do you use the original gearbox? if you use an auto where do you mount the transfer case?

oh come on,, Windsors eat clevelands,, :wink:

[fernockulated]

:roll: yes windsors may be better,i have fond memories of an xr fairmont with a 289 that hauled ass! but was figuring on the cleveland for the longer stroke for better grunt down low, correct me please if i am wrong!
have seen it done many years ago when doing my apprentice mech. ,the bosses old man had a shorty with a 351 "shoehorned "in with a bonnet extension and rad. panel moved forward to line up with the front of the guards.the split exhaust spat like a dragon on cold winter morns!! 8O


oh and i will endeavour to get some pics if i get it home this w/e, forgot the camera last week , sorry ops:

[Pedro_The_Swift]

arrhh, the old 289 Windsor.
I had one in a LWB Bedford van once,
had 31inch rears and still smoked em off the line,,,

hmm 289 = 4.4 litres,,
new Disco = 4.4 litres,,

someone tell me their not using old windsors!!!

[fernockulated]

ok , so heres the pic's of the new aquisition, hope the link works!





the front guards and bonnet were already to remove when it arrived home , nothing holding them on, they just fell off in my hands , lucky they didnt fall off on the way home! ops: 8O
