You must of spent some coin on cars when your were young, even a 2 door classic when you were 18 would have been worth some coin

Rangies Landies, Jags and a self admission of not being the most mechanically minded.........your a masochist

what would be needed to fit it to my old 3.9 in my rangie? (belts are different..not single like in the P38)

or best just to grab a secondhand 3.9 or 4.0 out of a disco?

Camo

You should drop it all in the too hard basket and sell it too me for my 4.6......

OK Matt, you did what was asked....
I now believe you have a Blown Rangie.

And it answers the questions on why you cant tell me what the specs are as you bought the engine blown.

Thats all you have to do, Say, i dont know as i bought it like that.

Was the Jag converted??? if not then what size is it and what drama did you have?
Auto? what kind?

I did the jag, LS1 from a VUII SS, with 4L60E, drama's just the usual, if your going to put a gen 3 in something I'll let you know more

I've done more than the odd engine conversion

And I do know what goes on with the blown motor, I just don't feel the need to answer your questions whilst

1. they're all antoganistic

2. You ain't going to achieve what you want with this setup

Bought the wreck for 6k, sold enough to make 2k back, put cam and valve springs in, just shy of 300RWHP, span 2 big ends and 3 mains, my fault, fixed that, fried the auto, got that built, blew the diff up and just wrecked another jag and put that in
