Top outlet exhaust manifold.

[Greg S]

I have a petrol engine that apparently came out of a Land Rover. It looks to be an early Series 2 engine but I can't be sure. We've never had Transit vans over here so I trust it is out of a Landy. The exhaust manifold outlet is forward of the carb heating chamber and points up. I've never seen one like this before and wonder what it is for. It isn't like the Series I units that go laterally out the fender.

Any chance of a picture of it? You have more chance of someone identifying it that way.

Sounds more like an engine/manifold out of a tractor , Ferguson ?

VERY early series 2 2.25p had that set up. The 2.25p was an option at this point as LR were still using up the stock of 2ltr engines from the S1 production.

Yep very early SII 2 1/4 , iirc was originally used in the RoverP4 80 saloon which had the same engine

Some pic's of the whole vehicle would be nice

cheers

Thanks for the replies. It looks like a Series 2 engine from the water pump and I'll post pictures eventually. Can't post of the whole vehicle as the motor is all I've got. A case of "Grab it quick or it's going to the dump."
