Seriously considering carbed rover V8 and taking the rover gearbox but keeping the hilux transfer box. Any pointers hints tips or experiences appreciated.
Have weighed up the pros and cons and I think it would be false economy to put a second hand 2.4 engine in due to the possibility of head failure. So rather than go through the hassle of re-looming to fit the 3 litre V8 seems a cheaper alternative.
My biggest worry is finding that the transmission tunnel isnt big enough to accomodate the V8. I think some serious research is in order.
Tony your thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreicited being as though you own both a surf and a rover V8ed vehicle.
Cheers in advance
