landroversforever Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Nige, are you going to need to build a bigger diameter snorkle to get enough air in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 <slap awaiting mode>Are you gonna clean that plenum or not bother?</slap awaiting mode> Looking good Nige, I bet after all this time you really do need to hear it run very soon.... Hmmm, thought about making the airbox thingumy out of clear perspex...? Nothing like looking at three chokes opening all at the same time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hybrid_From_Hell Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Moving forwards now With bits from Monsewer Gibbon here on LR4x4, and my trusty cleaning tank with BS666 'disolve skin bone & tissue' "Organic" cleaning fluid I sent the cleaned serp 3.9 dizzy stylee front end to John for "JED tweaking", including converting to Remote oil filter / thermostat, new gears, and other tweaks, now back ...so update soon(ish) when cuddling it has finished Top is oil in, Bottom is oil out Mr Gibbon may be along to confirm 'on delivery' to moi, it was not 'quite' this clean This is what John said SHOULD have been on it, was when it was built, was then bodgificated, and then on me getting it sorted with Johns help to what was originally on there. Anyone want to buy a wierdly modified Thor Timing cover, tweaked by "Mongo" from blazing saddles fame ? (well looks like his work ) Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 This could be a long thread time wise - Not as in the "Not a 10 day Build Multi anniversary thread" by Mr William Warn, Niiiige... May I point out the above quote from your first post in this thread? . It would appear that it is turning into a 'Warne-esk' thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid_From_Hell Posted May 9, 2011 Author Share Posted May 9, 2011 Oh God don't Spent an inorinate amount of time on the issue of the front cover and front end, spent no less than 10 hours this weekend getting nowhere with bits that should fit that don't, learnt a lot, some about V8s and the changes between model years and also not to maybe buy engines fully stripped in boxes. Update and pics later Nige Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowie69 Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 When all said and done, ask yourself 'Would I do it again?' And then you know it is worth it or not... All this for an extra ~ 50BHP, might as well have chucked a beetle engine in the back, flat four, should fit between the wheelboxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
