Anyone got a V8 engine for sale

Possibly... My old 3.5 is sat on Warrens floor at present :-)

If you do decide to sell it, leave it where it is. He'll be needing it there anyway...

How much would you be needing for it?

I made the mistake of going to see a chap about some axles he was going to put in a skip. He was a complete loon (I mean that in a good way Gary, BTW) and had a fantastic Series 2 / Series 3 / Rangie V8 contraption which he had built himself (doing everything the hard way as far as I could see, including making his own exhaust system, contriving a distributor from Metro bits (!) and building his own hybrid chassis). He's got an adaptor plate going spare (along with a few other choice bits) and it's got me thinking about the shagged out

The wife has thrown her hands in the air and said "what the hell, it's only money" which sounded a lot like 'yes' to me! I'll have to see what Warren finds wrong with the Series 2 on Monday and then schedule the engine swap. I am, however, a bit tempted to strip and rebuild the engine first, just to see if I can.

I've also got plans for the Discovery, which will need to be slotted in somewhere along the way...

Tell us then!

Martyn and Gary both know, but they also know that if Mandy finds out she will kill me. Before I die I will tell her it was their idea!

The public plan is a 2 inch lift, some aggressive tyres (which I have already) and some underbelly protection (for the car, not me). There is another element to the plan, but having received two very amusing credit card bills this morning I may have to attack it in two stages...

's rumoured to be a relatively difficult conversion. The word is that you need stageI exhausts manifolds. Range rover ones worked on the 110, but I suspect that the chassis is wider on that, and the inner wings are less intrusive. At that, access to the exhaust manifold-to-downpipe joints isn;t as good as one might hope. Mine uses RR downpipes and Y-pipe, with standard
