Slammin's Range Rover (Pg 9)

Swap to OBDI manifold?

Hmm, didn't notice that. I'll remedy that once it's in my possession.

I didn't know the Rover V8 is so terrible. Isn't it basically the Olds/Buick 215?

AFAIK the Rover V8 is garbage. Not sure on the Buick ones. Early Range Rovers had the Buick, but the later ones got Rover V8s. I know the V8 from this particular car had a hole in it....so...yeah.....

I would leave it with the OBDII manifold, you want the low end torque. What transmission is it using, is it the R380 with the bell housing off the SA 2.8 M52 Defender?

IDK, I thought it was a 4hp. He used and M20 flex plate I had laying around for it.

[10Toes]

Nice, so he just swaped the bellhousing from a bmw 4hp on to the land rovers 4hp transmission.

Must have just used the M20 one from an E30/E34/E28

[slammin.e28]

I guess, lol. I'm gonna talk with him tonight.

[brainspo0n]

it's hard to slam those, dawg

[Kershaw]

so it's now a 2wd range rover?

[slammin.e28]

so it's now a 2wd range rover?

Nope. All time 4x4 works. Just an engine swap.

[Kershaw]

the engine sits above the front diff and half shafts?

[10Toes]

Yeah, they are solid front axles

[Kershaw]

well that's convenient.

[slammin.e28]

I've already learned a shit ton and haven't even seen the thing. Gonna looky at it after work.

[slammin.e28]

I can't wait to do this:
