Thread: EF Falcon fans in to RR?

There was a photo of this installation on the Australian Range Rover & Discovery Forum a month or so ago.

By the way, did you ever fit those extractors you bought off me?

Ron

G'day Ron,

Funny thing - was JUST on your website, spookey eh?

Not fitted them yet, as they were for my Defender 100", but going to install them onto my RR in a couple of weeks and get them wrapped to reduce the temp in the engine bay.

The D100 will probably get a set of Pacemakers, but that is a while off yet!!!

Hows the P38a going?

Ohh! You were thinking of me! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

I thought about that for my old RR too. Also have you considered the ceramic coating system that's supposed to also work? I remember that my old Mark VII Jag I had back in the mid-Sixties had enamelled exhausts - a bit like enamelled cookware or plates/mugs, but thicker.

Hows the P38a going?

Umm, so you've heard that I've got the motor out and am fitting a new block. Blown head gaskets, possible shifted liner.
Should get the new motor in next week. It's assembled.

Yeah Damo and I were chatting today while playing with yet another V8 motor that turn out to be an un economical repair job!!!

What happend to the original 4.6?

It's sitting on the bench waiting to be hot-tanked and checked to see if there really is a liner problem or if it is reusable.

The bores are in excellent condition (it really makes me wonder why a bloke on the Aust 4WD Monthly forum claimed that Rover V8s have a severe bore wear problem. Every one I've looked in have been remarkably good).

If there is a problem I may look at using the crank and rods in another block.

I'm wondering if it will fit a 3.5 block to give a useful increase in capacity.

Alternatively, I'll check if it is possible to fit new liners for a reaonable price.

Ron

Hey Ron,

How you going with your 4.6?

Is it up and running yet?
