Land Rover: Other Series II III V8 3. 5L Conversion NOS Bulkhead & Frame
for sale

Price: US 9.00

Description:

This listing is for a RHD Land Rover 109 V8 conversion. The previous owner of this vehicle was a master fabricator of more then 20 years experience in mechanics and custom fabrication, with extensive experience working with series Land Rovers. The idea behind the project was to build the perfect Series 109 Land Rover, a vehicle that would, among other things, be capable of comfortably maintaining long stretches at highway speeds (without putting undue stress on a stock series drive train), have a completely new old stock rust-free frame and bulkhead, have an improved cabin heating system etc. all while maintaining a traditional Rover look and feel.
To accomplish this a new old stock (NOS) 101 Ministry of Defence (MOD) rebuild 3.5L 101 V8 engine was laboriously custom fitted into a NOS military spec 109 series pickup rolling chassis with salisbury rear axle. A LT77 Rover 5 speed transmission was then custom fit to the engine. Once mated with a Rover series III transfer case and mod kit (not included in this listing, but available through Ian Ashcroft here -transmissions.co.uk/the-series-vehicle/series-5-speed-kits.html) this Rover 5 speed overdrive arrangement furnishes the driver with 2 wheel drive, 4 wheel drive, and 4 wheel drive low range capabilities. The stock 101 engine produces 120 HP @ 5000 RPM and 176 foot LBS @ 2500RPM. Ultimately this means that no masts, sails, or hurricane force following winds are required to travel at highway speeds!
I love this vehicle, but not unlike the original owner I have lost the time and the space to make it come together. All the significant quirks of this conversion have been worked out (This means no unpleasant head scratching!) what remains is a really wonderful, capable off-road/working truck that is ready for the right person to give it the final bit of attention it needs to fulfill it's rightfully position as the perfect Series 109 Land Rover. I'm sorry that it worked out that I wasn't the person to make that happen.
