V8 into Landrover 90
« on: May 30, 2005, 16:02:23 »
Well been green laning with Jason, Davidlandy and the others and well my old 2.25 is  a waste of time ...................and well I think its going to have a V8 put into it

Lots of questions regarding a V8 conversion

Can it go onto a LT77 5 speed 90 gearbox ,

Will I need to change the diffs and will it stop with a 90's standard braking system

cheers

No, it won't... you will need a suitable gearbox to go with it, or a conversion kit (around 120 quid)

Standard diffs and brakes are fine, although changing the rear axle for discs is nice to do anyway.

If it came out of a 5 speed Range Rover V8, then it is the one you want.

The Bellhousing will be about 14-16" long.
