Re-engine. Will it fit?

[Apache]

Have seen this on eBay. I think it might give me a bit more power but I'm not sure if it might be a bit of a ball-ache to fit. I'm wondering if 'stein can make an adaptor so it will mate to the standard auto gearbox cos I dont want to go manual.

I reckon you'll need a couple of bonnet vents too. You gonna intercool it?

[That Ruddy Squirrel]

Make sure it comes with ALL the bits, including that extra shaft above the drift shaft

I'm wondering if I'll have to relocate the rad forward a bit - or the seats back a bit - or both...

I think you'll need up-rated torsion bars at least. You using the fuel tank too?

mmmmmmmmmm.you might have to move the bulkhead a little........................ ............like to the backseat.an adaptor plate wouldnt bee a problem got one in stock for just this occassion.but gearbox might have a bit of a problem taking the power,but dont let a little thing like that stop you andy.......................... .......................

I was thinking maybe I'll forego the gearbox altogether. I would probably have enough torque to drive the wheels from standstill to top speed just driven directly. I'm glad I've got an LSD!

Can the steering column be lengthened by a few feet?

I'll stick with the original fuel tank for now. We've got garages every few miles here. I've got quite a lot of veg oil too. Will it be OK without heaters?

well you could do but you wouldnt have a reverse gear or any means of dis-engaging drive to the wheels,could be pretty scary in a traffic jam.and as for steering why not do a rear wheel steer conversion.

Or a rudder.
Just stick you foot out the door to slow down. Don't wear flip-flops though.

that thing will propably run on parrafin.can you still get it nowadays.?

Or a rudder.

funny that i nearly said use a rudder but then i thought nah,that would be totally ridiculous.

[BUSHWHACKER]

Andy, I think you'll need a Dremel.

[BioHazard]

Jet a1 fuel should do .............May need to uprate the torque converter though

[POPEYE]

Anythings possible!! remember the bloke that fitted a rolls royce merlin engine in a rolls royce car? i think he lenghtened the front end by about 2-3 ft,

May be worth looking into some slightly more powerful speakers if you want to hear the stereo?
