    Conversions V8

    Hi to all.
    Im new to this type of question and have tried to find out what type of V8 conversion can be done to a 130 defender.
    Chev 6.5 ? and who in QLD would do this type of work.
    One more question. What causes the thumping noise when you let the clutch out ( have had the new toy for 3 mths )
    and is it going to cause any damage if left alone.
    Cheers
    In regards to the conversion dose any members have Photos and a price of the work done.

    I would get under your car with a tyre lever & check your engine & gearbox mounts for that thump. You will fracture the others eventually.
    Cheers,

    Yeah 13k for a motor off them, you could rebuild mine 3 times for that, or stick low comp pistons in it and run the turbo with a bit more boost, 200kw/ 700Nm, you know you want to

    The thump could be worn ball joint on the back axle, worn leading/trailing arm bushes under front or rear axle. Loose UJs, worn gearbox to transfer splines,worn clutch plate springs.
    And the list goes on.
