    Cam choice 3.9 V8 EFI in RRC

    After some advice and part numbers
    Fitting a 94 Disco 3.9 V8 Serpentine motor to my 93 LSE

    Car has 4.11 Diffs 33 Tyres
    R380
    1.22 LT230

    Used for touring, offroad lots winching etc and towing
    Not a daily driver but will also be used as a family wagon

    Cams?
    Have used Rollmaster before but probably overkill

    I'd be fitting a cam out of a 350, be it 2 bolt, 4 bolt, LS1 or even consider an LS2 cam.

    I would also install a matching housing.

    cheers, DL

    Well Marks 4wd are close including 6L80 trans....

    When someone does a 3.2 5 cylinder diesel conversion from a Ranger you will have my attention

    Yeah, I was just having a giggle.

    Mine has been a great thing with an ancient 350 and C9. Not into electronics, no real need for a 4 speed, let alone a 9 speed.

    I like 70's American manufacturing might, combined with UK designed boxes on wheels.

    cheers, DL

    About 10 years ago I watched a white XJ6 Jag burble down the street, it did a U turn, then I saw the XJ 6.6 badge on the back.

    Understated niceness. Was on gas too.
