Well. I'll be honest. I thought that with the demise of my class 5 trialler, I thought it would be a while before I started thinking about a new project. I should have learnt by now. By a stroke of good fortune a 90 has virtually fallen into my lap at a knockdown price. In my mind I seem to be trying to fit the vehicle to my needs rather than actually thinking about putting my mind to buying something else that might do the trick better! The 90 is currently a 2.5 diesel on a C plate (bless it) but to use it as a class 2 trialler and general plaything I will be better off putting a V8 in it. I alway need to own at least one vehicle with one in! So, the question is. What is the best option with regard to fitting a V8, to the 90, whilst keeping a manual box, but not necesserily the one thats in it. I've heard that a Santana box is the one to use but i'm guessing they are neither cheap nor easy to get hold of? Do you therefore need a conversion ring(oo-er) etc etc Can I not just swing in a 5 speed Range Rover engine and gearbox in, in one go? Answers on a post please..............
Thanks
Dave
