Stage 1 V8

It's in, now for connecting it all up!

Took some hours to get the 'box and engine lined up, ended up removing the bumper as the crane was fouling it and couldn't get the last few cm onto the splines.

For reference Burlen cheaper than anywhere else.

Chirstmas and work got in the way, but engine now built up with manifolds etc, ready to swing in tomorrow. Bad news was that I broke a fuel pipe on one of the carbs...

So looking at recon costs I've gone an ordered a new set!!

lol! "most first world" - well in the UK as long as it passes the relevant test - no worries and for the last 10 or so tests mine has passed with the stuff disabled.

tbh, UK and first world in the same sentence opens up a whole load of questions...

Only 111 on the DVLA list in the UK showing as taxed...

can'y see it in the pix, don't forget the earth lead between the pump and chassis - that pesky thing caused me two break downs!

that sound much more like the vacuum advance than anything to do with the EGR stuff.

On mine I have the EGR Valve and the pipe to the Manifold, everything else is long gone. Have not had trouble getting through UK emissions like this. What do I need to do to remove the remainder, doesn't seem to do anything. the exploded diagram looks quite complex so can't believe it is still actua...

on one of the original sales brochures there's a police stage 1, will dig it out and upload a pic.

manifolds cleaned and studs replaced where needed, no more bits left on the old lump now to move over. Have just ordered a couple of missing bolts and new clutch kit, plate was quite worn and while the engine is out it seems mad not to replace.

removed left manifold (well the boy did) cleaned up the stage 1 damper assembly and water pump pulley that arrived this week and gave a coat of satin black. Dipstick tube in and a few other bits. the hilarious bit was turning the engine by hand and seeing the red caps installed by Land rover that bl...

A few observations if mixing bits. The SD1 timing marks are in a different plan compared to a stage 1 or indeed a range rover, might save a few confused thoughts. Also for reference the high and low marks are in a different place on the dipstick...!

that's an LT95 Overdrive with Range Rover Operating lever.

The truck looks great, Masai Red = Perfect and from the pix in pretty good shape. Not a plate I've seen on fleabay/ads either.

How much did you pay (if you are prepared to answer ) and any history?
