Range Rover engine conversions

[Phoenix]

Ok, does anybody do conversion kits to put Chrysler hemi engines into a range rover with a 4 speed manual??

what other conversion plates are available?

I've looked at the castlemain rod shop as well as dellow automotive, but they mostly do chevy, ford or holden conversions, as my brother can get some hemi engines cheap.


This is for my brothers project rangie ute by the way, nothing of mine.

I have seen Series vehicles converted to hemis, he could use a Series gearbox.

He broke them in his series landy, hence why he went to a range rover

What!!! are you going to stick a 426 Chrysler Hemi V8 in a Rangie, Last time I looked they weghed close to 800lbs, BTW these engines were the only hemisperical head engine built by Chrysler (other than the modern 4's), Regards Frank.

a 318 is what was mentioned, but then again, I think that they were calling them chev hemi's. I can't say I think much of my brothers mates intelligence

I thought the inline 6 cylinders were hemispherical combustion chamber design as well.

There are quite a few Series LR's getting around with the Aust. Chrysler Hemi 6 fitted and this would be my engine of choice for a Series LR repower. Bill Winter of Acacia Ridge Brisbane was the first to my knowledge to do this, long ago now. His 'phone is 07 3274 4373.

At least you could put a 727 torque flight behind the hemi which will allow you to run the LT 230 trans

Someone say HEMI?


The 318 fireball is a tough engine and bloody cheap. My choice would be a 245 or 265 Hemi six, just as tough (even I couldn't break one) and as said before mated to a torque flight 727 and an LT230.

Obviously unless you'd use an adapter you would have to change to a chrysler 727 due to bellhousing, but isn't the RR 727 slightly rotated (thought i read this somewhere but probably wrong)
