Darren Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Hello all, I've recently bought a 110 that has this engine fitted and I wondered if anybody had any experience of the conversion? The vehicle was originally fitted with a Land Rover 2.5TD and I'm particularly interested to know what ancilliary fixtures and fittings are likely to be original and what's specific to the engine. I'm also trying to find from what vehicle the new engine might have been sourced. I think the conversion may have been done by Frogs Island 4x4 but it seems that they haven't offered it for a few years now and nobody there knows anything about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 (edited) IIRC Frank Elson had one of those engines in his now sold 110 & I believe that Frog Island fitted it, maybe worth dropping him a e.mail Frank Elson asking for his thoughts on the engine, Edited October 27, 2007 by western Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 There was a thread running about this paticular conversion on one of the forums only a couple of weeks ago, the chap had owned the vehicle for some time I believe but was having problems obtaining an exhaust downpipe as it is a bespoke part and the original converter does not supply them any more. Can't be sure of the forum but I think it might have been Mudclub, check it out as it ran for quite some while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks chaps. I was beginning to think that Frank was the only person who'd ever had this conversion as everywhere I've asked he always gets a mention I've sent him a mail but haven't heard back yet. Litch, I spend quite a lot of time on Mud Club and haven't seen anything there (I've also asked the same question as above there too).

Litch Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I've been checking as well and I can't find it now. It was quite a long thread and there was a lot of useful information about sourcing bespoke spares etc. It can't have been more than a few weeks ago so I think I will have to go to each forum in turn and do a search for my own posts until I find it.

Darren Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 Thanks for that, chaps. Frank has since come back to me with a bit more info and, coupled with that thread on the other forum (which Frank has also contributed to) I'm starting to piece it together.
