Range Rover Classic - Two Door Diesel

[0xDEADBEEF]

I've always appreciated that little V8, but I never owned one. Aren't they all aluminum?

What axles does it have? I seem to recall they aren't very strong. Might want to upgrade if you are going to put power down.

Stock axles right now. With some upgrades they will easily handle the 330hp of the new engine. While I'll be doing the engine and drivetrain swap, building the fuel system and all the electrical integration, I'm going to have a local Rover specialist perform the axle and brake upgrades.

At a car show with the other British classics. They put me in the "scruffy" section.

And our GM trucks aren't the only ones that suffered with bad plastics. Most of this interior was in good shape when I bought it, but US Customs did a number on it when inspecting the truck. I've since tracked down and replaced all the broken interior parts except for one hard to find seatbelt bezel.

I wheeled with a guy that swapped a Mercedes Turbo Diesel in his FJ40. That thing was a stump puller on the trails, but I think it topped out maybe 55 mph on the highway.

I like the isuzu swaps.

Last February I sent a note to Allisport in the UK about having a custom radiator made for my LS swap Range Rover.

It finally arrived last week. And it's fantastic, as you can see in my grin.
