Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Just done a deal on a RR , for more bits for my Project :

How long could i expect my LT77 to last behind a 350 chev

78 RR motor is in bits , 350 SB , on gas , with engineer report , has the transfer high range conversion for criusin ,

Will have some range rover panels for sale very cheap after next week end, Also has a couple of those 35 ltr chassis rail fuel tanks , Or maybe somone wants to buy a complete body no chassis or running gear ?
Is a 2 door of course .

Larry.

LT77 won't last long, the bearings are p1ss tiny, mine failed behind a stock 3.5 V8 and it was rebuilt about 100 000kms ago.... Seriously an Auto would be stronger, but LT95 best, followed by R380 (if 5th was required)


I'm interested in the 35L chassis rail fuel tanks

got any pic's??

niiiiiice larry

update pics on rouki project!!

My LT77 lasted 2000 k behind my engine, it had done 250K prior to the conversion, was due for rebuild but had spent enough at that point.

good luck.

Michael.

Will post pic's when i can Nam,das
Extremely cheap bits avialable for the chev motor can,t believe the prices on some bits ,

Motor wasn,t biult for gas and the guy ran it for a couple of years ,so i spose thats what led to its demise .

so no burnouts Hay , Michael! Thanks guys
Larry,

Spy pics,

Probly have it home this week , and hopfully get that body off within a week, so will have some rover panels and other stuff floating about soon , anyone after anything body wise ?

Wensday wenasday I can feel the barked knukles already

If body has no rust, may be interested if price is right.

I would have to freight to mexico though.

Cheers

Is there any rust in the bonnet or the rear upper and lower tailgates? If there is noe may be interested in them.

Didn,t look at the panels before ,but have it home now , Panel frames are pretty routed ,---- Rust .
We have gutted the wiring and dash , and are about to start on the body ,
It has got a set of i think after market flares that are Ok , and im about to take the two side tanks out ,i will post a pic of the bits as i get them off.
It also has a 50mm body lift .
Larry.

I bags the 2 tanks if there ok.

I'd take both front doors and the flares off your hands

Good work!!

This was without electric windows or seats etc. Four door body with all the fruit should go ~850kg then!! Nice weight reduction if you ditch that and only add a couple a hundred kg's of stuff back in its place!!

How deep are the sill tanks? Just want to know how far they will hang down. going by the pics not too far.

if you could measure that I would be greatful and can let you know my decision

Been of the air for two days , bigpond adsl -
oh well .

No worrys das will get to it tommorrow afternoon.

Deranged , you would be close i reckon , as it figures by the rego papers
the rest of it comes in at 1060kg,thats with the 350 -lpg tanks, The stuff where throwing on there will be lucky to go 300- 350- mmmm
