coil sprung v8 cab chassis
With a view to run a light weight car in winch comps in production class,
was there a coil sprung v8 land rover bodied vehicle released in oz.

out of my mind, back soon.
Pretty sure the Cab chassis in the 1980's were diesel only (4BD Isuzu), and were assembled in Brisbane with a longer wheelbase than 110", although I can't recall the exact wheelbase. They're cool, but hardy a light weight comp type option.

Re: coil sprung v8 cab chassis
The county V8 was sold from 1983-1990 in 3dr hardtop and 5dr wagon form. They are worth bugger all, and a piece of cake to convert into a ute cab.swamp wrote:With a view to run a light weight car in winch comps in production class,

They would make a great comp vehicle and I have4 often considered building one. Chassis is 30-50% stronger than a rangie/disco. You can bolt any rover v8 in in place of the asthmatic carbed 3.5

I am currently running a rangie, fairly stock apart from the 4.6, which I once entered as production as it is a rover v8. The response was that the engine that the vehicle left the factory with, is the engine that you shall use. In the case of the Nissans that had a petrol or diesel option you must run as it left the factory.
So this puts me in challenge class. I was considering putting a 3.5 back in, but it is a bit sluggish. Reduce the weight i.e. 110 cab chassis and should be competitive and have a strong rear diff.

How much are you allowed to mod the engine? Turbo?swamp wrote:I am currently running a rangie, fairly stock apart from the 4.6, which I once entered as production as it is a rover v8.

A P76 motor with rover heads looks almost identical to a 3.5...
You could also just fit a salisbury to the RR and do a ute chop...

OK, sounds like a V8 county with LT95 would fit the bill nicely. Chuck in a late model EFI 3.5... Or put a 3.9L Efi system on the carbed 3.5...swamp wrote:Engine unmodified apart from engine management system
