Not enough info. What tires are you running? How many miles on the engine? Any transfercase swaps by PO? You should be able to run 70 with room to spare.

I'd seriously consider using load relays to take the high current off of the new switch. You'll add years to that switch and get brighter headlights to boot.

The NV4500 gearing is most important. I ran an earlier one with the wide jump between 3 and 4 behind a 4.3 V6 in my old IIA. Rpms were either too high or too low around 35 mph as I recall. It was aggravating. I never modified the box to make those ratio changes more uniform. I sold it after I...

Assuming the engine mentioned is correct as the photo looks to be a LSx V8.

Are you trying to save the clutch, fan or both? If you have a mig you can weld in a small bolt to aid removal.

Robert in Dallas. Stop acting like an ass. If you've got something worthy of posting do it in another thread. While your over there please tell us of all the out-of-the-box conversions you've accomplished and your long history/ownership of Land Rovers. Enquiring minds want to know.

I've driven the 2.5 and 3.0 4 banger conversions (hell, I had a lot of input into those conversions). I've converted a series to 4.3 V6. I've probably got the first LS1 conversion project still sitting in my garage to finish. I've been impressed with each and each has it's place. I driven the...

AWR2211 and AWR2212

As I said, that is pure speculation on my part. It should probably go for a higher price but who knows. Money talks and the seller is motivated.

^Considering it's the only one left in the world I'd probably start somewhere around 15K. If you could get it somewhere in that range you'd have a very special unique vehicle at a very good price. It's value would only go up too. Of course, this is pure speculation of value on my part.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone looking to own a piece of history or use to complete an ongoing project. Some of you understand the magnitude of this...the vehicles... the parts.

These Tonka toys weren't built for the roadways. I've always had issues with traffic lights and I'm only 5'10". I even bought one of the plastic prism thingys used in choptop roadsters that allows you to 'see' the light refraction. I swear, LR built these trucks like space was an absolute...

There will be meat on the menu! I ain't dead yet! :D

While the 5th gear set is not as stout as the lower gears it is a mute point. The R2.2 will not produce the torque required to drive the vehicle at full load at 75mph up a good grade. EGT, if nothing else, will hinder the progression. The driver will inevitably have to downshift and move to the...

A stumpy gear box is required.

These carbs are over jetted AND Robert can't keep his foot out of the throttle! As such, any mileage ratings are questionable at this time. :D

I don't 'hate' a diesel. After getting stinky skank oil all over my hiking boots at Roberts years ago I just see better alternatives. If I were running the China/Pakistan border then I'd switch my perspective to something that could operate on shit diesel fuel in such a remote location. If there...

^ Nothing wrong at all about going EFI. Hot and cold starts are immediate and fuel metering is excellent. Sure, it's an old platform but it's inexpensive, powerful and brutally reliable. Sure, someone can fit a newer engine with the latest bells and whistles but the cost is going to drive many...

There are a lot of reasons not to use a rover V8. When they're running good they're as fine as any other. When they're not the repair cost is above your typical V8. The 90/110/130 platform comes with different chassis mounts dependent upon engine. So swapping a 200tdi for a 4.0 isn't as easy as...

^ I'm referring to using the key at the rear door.
