    I picked this up a year or so back for parts. It had had a 302 fitted. It gives a good idea of the modifications that were done as I stripped it. It had a C4 auto box bolted via a marks 4WD adpater plate to a series transfer case and running rangie diffs.

    It had the engine mounts moved, #2 x-member was untouched

    rad panel had been moved forward/discarded and a ford crossflow rad fitted with twin termo set up fitted.

    The bulkhead had been chopped and the trans tunnel had been shorterned.

    Im currently doing a 302 conversion on my '76 S3. I wanted to keep mine looking completly standard from the outside. I'm using a 5.0 EFI Windsor from an AU Falcon and GQ transmission with a Dellow bellhousing. Using a Leafsprung GQ front axle and MQ H260 rear axle. Going to use the plain steel Nissan split rims to try and sortof keep the original look. This version of the 302 has a very short nosed water pump and have been able to use a mechanical fan from a later model Disco 1 which fits the threaded part on the Ford Water pump. Then hoping to be able to use a narrowed down Disco 1 radiator. Its been very much a work in progress collecting all the parts but will be getting into it very soon. Not sure if the EFI Intake will fit under my dished bonnet yet. Will take plenty of pics as it progresses

    In a lot of cases (I believe it is so in Qld) you can only go up to a certain size (capacity in cc) engine, I believe in a land rover series it is 4.2l so wouldn't that exclude a 308 or 350? Maybe it is allowed if you get if completely engineered rather than just inspected.

    The other day in my pile of bits I forgot I had, I found a nicely fabricated and machined Chevy to series gearbox adaptor .Don't know who manufactured it, but one would have to wonder what the hell they were thinking!
    Wagoo.

    QLD engine swapping regs are based on the original vehicle weight.
    Weight x factor = max engine size.
    Older cars or those with a seperate chassis are allowed larger engines.
