Do you know what year rover for the transfer?chimpboy wrote:If you are talking about an MQ/MK, Dellow Auto do a Ford V8 kit to replace the L28.hardenup wrote:Remember me?ludacris wrote:Alan tierney does have an A Frame and coils in rear now aswell as shackel reversal up front. That thing flies. V8 sounds very well tuned running on LPG with heaps of grunt. He has been running the Siverstones that look like Simex for a while now too. Top rig just needs to get that A Frame to hold on the rear diff. Top Bloke Too. Very competitive truck.

Final doing something just a little olde skool,as couldnt talk the boss into wrecking the Ford,not just yet anyway.
Yes a coil rear end would be a bonus but im still learning about A Frames and how to make them,I find because this is an old truck not to many people are interested in helping.
So im trying to do it on my own.(Keep researching and asking questions.
Love a V8 but no one to my knowledge does a kit to fit a ford V8 in.
May have to change camps.
So i will stick with the old L28 for time been.
Kind regards Chad.
They also do a kit to fit a Falcon EA or later 6 cylinder in place of the L28, which might be a cheaper swap and still give a huge increase in torque and hp over the stock L28.
As Beastmavster says, though, you might as well bolt in the engine and transmission as a unit - I reckon a good low budget drivetrain for an MQ would be to put in the EFI falcon 6, the 4 speed auto, and a rover transfer case with a 1.2:1 high to get the gearing down. But others will laugh at this idea! They always laugh at me!

Im not laughing at you, thats food for though.
