What's the problem? One of the best mods I ever did after seeing Ant's was junking those in favour of a re-routed heater circuit that runs down the valley under the inlet manifold via a couple of 15mm stainless pipes bent to pick up the relevant hoses either end. Looks way neater and frees up loads of room for rocker cover removal, manifolds etc

Yep

Thanks for the thought, I bought this engine in a selection of boxes in Sept
last year, its been gently fighting me every step of the way, has soaked up huge man hours
and a few £333s along the way
.

To get this into my Challenge Land Rover 90 (yes you read that right - a 90 with all the
quality drunk pig on roller sakes handling and aerodynamics of a bungalow - but should go
well, a "Nifty 90" as Mr Eales said when he shook his head) and I have shed loads of fabrication ahead too
so if I can find something "Off the shelf" so to speak then whooppee do, this is an odd engine, Iceberg Block Flapper manifold,
big valve heads early castings etc etc and a 4.0 serp front engine with remotes and cooler pipework and its
not going to be a straight drop in I know

As is now :



So, still looking then, thought my luck had changed when I saw I had a reply.

And yes I know "A 90 ???" answer is "Because I can" is as good as I can come up with
Love the wolf in sheeps clothing bit, jeez theres a full race JED 4.5 V8 in there at the moment
and yes I am a tad "Posessed" hence why when I was into big silly Bikes I was known as "Barkin'"
