110 2.25Petrol to 3.5 V8 conversion


Velar

Recommended Posts

I'd like to convert my 2.25 Petrol one ten to 3.5 V8.

Because my LT77 Gearbox works fine i'd like to keep the gearbox in.

Is there any adaptor/conversion ring so I can use my original gearbox?

Probably just a "series" landrover conversion ring, unless you want to swap the bellhousing and input shaft over from a V8 spec LT77

oh, and engine moounts too.

you see the conversion rings on ebay quite often.

Just a point to note, If you keep your gearbox, I presume you will keep your transfer box too.

It is worth noting that the 4 cylinder petrol and NA diesel 110s were fitted with a 1.66 ratio transfer box. If yours still has this, it will be very undergeared with a V8 engine unless you are fitting some very large tyres too.

Normally a V8 would have a 1.4 ratio in a defender.(standard defender 90 and 110 ratio for tdi and V8)

when he says "undergeared" he means, you will have stupid fast acceleration, and a low top speed.

theres loads of places that do the conversion rings,

steve parker does the kit i think.

Looking on steve parkers website, it appears he does not.
