Junglie Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 Um. I think I'm going to regret this. I am (as some of you will know) transferring a V8 into my 110, which currently has a snorting, snarling 12J in it. I know I need to frig about with engine mounts, and I have just discovered from another thread that I'll need to get some gearbox/TF bob mounts as well. But do I need a different crossmember? Even if I go down the Frankenpipe route for an exhaust? Oh, and talking of exhausts. The manifolds on my 3.9 at the moment are horrible but original. Any suggestions as to a sensible exhaust choice? Not too offensively loud, but I don't mind a bit of V8 burble... Thanks, SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 3.9 cast manifolds are reckoned to be pretty good TBH, use RRC downpipes & Y piece and it gets you very close if not bang on to joining up with a stock Defender exhaust system. If you check out our ambulance thread in the members' vehicles section there's pics in there somewhere of the setup with standard x-member & back section.

Junglie Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) Oh that's good news, thanks. One less thing to worry about... Any idea on the cross member? (Edit - I'm being thick aren't I? Stock exhaust means current crossmember, doesn't it...) Edited June 1, 2022 by Junglie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill S Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) There's also a lot of useful info here - I'm just in the process of trying to figure out which way to go on my 1987 110..... Once I have my engine and boxes back in I'd planned to buy: On 12/9/2016 at 6:55 PM, Quagmire said: 1 off - NTC7320 "Front downpipes and Y pipe assembly - V8 3.9 EFI non catalyst auto from GA399973 (not CSK model)" Then see what 20 hours ago, FridgeFreezer said: very close if not bang on to joining up with a stock Defender exhaust system looks like....

FridgeFreezer Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Not sure if these help, they're all I can find with my exhaust in shot... If I remember I'll get under and take a few more over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junglie Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Thanks chaps, that all helps a lot. And just for once it actually seems like it's good news instead of something else I need to go and buy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
