Pretty sure 'discokid' has a gen III in his Defender pickup,
used in Offroad racing / Australian Safari, etc.

whats wrong with a Ford V8?

[Sandtoyz]

apart from the weight... (aren't they still cast iron blocks?)
not much,
*chev's are popular, as they use alloy blocks, (and cheap?)

correct me if I'm wrong though...
I haven't kept up-to date lately on V8 motors...

or if your keen to spend dollars,
*get a Euro V8, like an Audi, BMW, Jag, etc..

or Jap stuff,
*Toyota / Nissan both have been making them for ages.

*Sorry for the offensive words

Lexus V8's are bigger across the heads than a big block, thay are freaking massive

Zuffen on OL has one in a Rangie

I'm currently wiring one in a jag, makes my engine bay look empty with a little gen3 in there, they are BIG

Need one off adaptors

[discokid]

Yes I still have 5.7lt gen 3 in my defender

Thinking of going 6lt or bomb up the 5.7lt some more before this years safari

We also have another defender racing with us with an all alloy chev in it (Rodec or something similar) and a 90 being built with a donavan chev so plently of experience in high HP applications in the west

Do you need some info on the conversion??

[def-90]

yeah that would be fantastic discokid,

you looking at selling yours soon maybe then hey?

thinking of maybe a t700 as i think they are similar length to zf's, can't have anything too long obviously as wheelbase is tiny.

mate any info you got would be great, can email if any easier? archiscapes@hotmail.com

cheers again mate
