mad_pete Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Right 300 years later a 4.2 is in and mostly works. Now slight change of plan as the megajolt is going on the Ranige and megasquirt is being lined up for the 90. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_pete Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 Right the 4.2 exhaust is bigger than the 3.5. At the moment the 2 just meet in the middle. Any suggestions on where I can get a custom exhaust, or at least a bigger back section ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark90 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Nige/HFH has been doing some research into custom exhausts, there is a thread in the international forum that must cover most of the custom exhaust builders in the country.

mad_pete Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 I don't believe it. Cooling system is over pressurising and filling with gas. What's more likely with a sat engine, head gasket, bore crack or random temporary coolant leak that is part of the bedding in ? As a sticking a 4.2 V8 auto in a ninety tips section Remove radiator and drop engine and gear box as one Lt85 tunnel mostly fits Official V8 autobox cooler pipes don't fit Get the gear selector mount from Ashcroft I used a na 2.5 diesel rad for oil cooler You can keep LT77 transfer box and if you do props stay same. Check a locater peg is not in gearbox AND transfer case as you try to fit it EFI electrics aren't as scary as you think ( see Nige's posts for the magic docs ) Out of a 40 pin plug only 8 or so really mean business Exhaust probably won't fit It will take twice as long and three times more money than you thought it would ( doesn't everything ) It is cool to drive. BTW who else lives in Waterlooville round here ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Was the 4.2 known good before you got it? Doesn't sound terribly promising I live in Gosport, so sort of near Waterlooville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
