Thread: Putting a chev 350 in a rangie, documenting it all!

does any one know of any headers that fit??

Looking good! I think one day I would like to do this to mine once the 3.9 I've just stuck in it wears out - maybe in about 15 years with the amount of KM I put on it.

Would like to check out your conversion first hand if you don't mind me having a sticky beak at some stage...

Oh and this is just after we out it in.

Thanks mate - I'll give you a call in the next week or so. F1 this week, so lots of late nights for me this week anyway.

OK, WARNING TO ALL !!!! Chevs re NOT all the same, Eg, our engine is a bitsa. After buying 3 sump gaskets which you are told that fit... but...

We ended up buying another sump, and one piece gasket. After alot of research and talking to people, we found a Eagle Spares to be fantastic with knowledge and help. Yes they are more expensive than the web BUT you buy things once. I have brought 3 sump gaskets and wasted 10 days!!!!! BUGGAR!

I highly recommend researching the year your chev was made, what car it came out of, all these things!

We have fitted the exhaust that came with the engine. Its not a great fit. Although will do until I can find a set of headers to fit.

The car doesn't look like its progressed, and it hasn't. We continue to hit road blocks with incorrect parts. They have all been $5 parts.
no heres some more pics.

other updates is fittinf twin SS snorkels, We have a twin outlet sealed (we have modified it) air box/cleaner.
Heres the first one.

and heres one of the differences in sumps, The other main one is which side your dipsitck is.

The next job is Finishing off new carb, We went with the Holley Truck Avenger 670cfm which is designed for 4wds.

Then its Radiator and Fans, still deciding whether to go EL V8 fans and Rad, or use the Range rover Rad and the same fans.

After that its interior finishing/console AND Electical.
