First replace radiator, for special big one, then gearbox, transferbox, diffs, half shafts and cvs.
Or drive very carefully, i had Ashcroft heavy duty auto, and it would still slip.
But with the right exhaust system, it sounded better than a river V8. :twisted:

I've got a 5.7 V8 GMC diesel sat in the garage with fitting kit for a Range Rover if you're interested.
