My landy V8 project

Just a couple more, nearly upto date. This is the make-do spray shop, a commercial greenhouse- cheaper than a low bake oven!

 

 

The new bulkhead, and yes this is to be the finished colour!

How did you get that bulkhead to hover like that :wave:

As Queen would say....."It's a kind of magic"

 

That's gonna be very nice when it's done Pete.

 

Don't gas it.........They just don't sound the same

Cheers Mac, i think the red will get noticed! The wifes choice:scared:

 

As far as the gas goes, already got the LPG kit:drunk: Guess it might be best just to use it on longer runs:proud:

My Lpg V8 hicap sounded fantastic - mind you, I had a 3" twin straight through systems on a 4.2 motor...

Little bit of a thread hi jack but it's still V8 Landy related - Picked up an old N/a diesel 110 hicap to use instead of the 130 and was fancying going down the 3.9 EFI, possibly auto box and lpg route with it but have heard a few people say its a bit of a pig to do repositioning engine mounts.

 

Have any of you guys ever done a swap like and are able to shed some light?

you could do worse that register here and post any questions you may have, they have tried almost everything possible between them and are pretty helpful, but they do like to see photos of projects!!!

Hi Chris, as kev says, any of the landy forums are good to ask.

 

Converting is not such a big issue as far as mountings go. The gearbox mounts bolt through the chassis and everything is lined up from there-just the engine ones are different.

 

If you change the box, you may need a shorter front prop, and the v8 will need engine mounts welding in. You can get adapters for this to fit your n/a mounts but ive heard they tend to bend with torque from the big lump!

 

Not sure whats involved in fitting the EFi-never had anything to do with it- but plenty get done so cant be too much to do.

 

Oh, just thought, if you want them i have pics of where the v8 mounts go!
