@@HeinerStorchennest1 with everything in the center stocks it’s tough to keep it all together and working. I would go with the best part you can afford. I think, BritPart and Allmakes are the same manufacturer. If you have a scrapyard near ya full of LR try to grab a LR used one. That would probably last longer.

@@TheSwordsmon excellent question. The center diff is an open diff. So each wheel is free to spin if the other 3 are stopped. That’s why it’s free to spin any time. Example: when you’re trying to drive over an obstacle and 1 wheel keeps spinning because it has no grip. It’s the same concept. Thank you for watching.

@@conrad1468 No, you can't jack up a single wheel and spin it, if the vehicle is in gear and in 4WD (even if there were a centre diff, but there isn't in a Series LR). If you spin a single wheel while in gear, either the engine must turn, or another wheel has to turn (in the opposite direction). Picture what was happening while you were tightening the nut: the shaft was turning, so something in the diff was turning - either the crownwheel and propshaft was turning, or the planetary gears were turning the other shaft in the reverse direction, right? It couldn't be the other shaft if that wheel was on the ground (with a locked FWH, and if the shaft was in place, of course). And it couldn't be the C/W and propshaft if both gearboxes were in gear and the T-case was in 4WD. So one of the following was the issue: Not in 4WD, not in gear in both boxes, other hub was unlocked, other wheel was jacked up, or other shaft was out.

@@phillipgray6658 these are the original LR plugs out of my engine. I welded them closed and reinstalled them into the heads.

@@Rovertube thank you Sir!! Can’t wait to run thru the gears.

@@roxann1461 you’re very welcome. Save the frustration and anger is all good!! Glad it helped.

@@graemelliott3942 thank you Sir!!

@@vod8008 thank you Sir! It’s nice to be back. It is a lot of work and thinking. The tinkering and figuring things out is the part I like the most. Especially when it finally works!! Hopefully!!! Ha ha!! Fingers crossed.

@@crusty_trucks I didn’t build a plate. I found an original Scotty adapter from the 1990’s. The adapter is 2.25 inch thick. One side is the Land Rover trans pattern. The other side is an early Gen 1 Chevy V8 engine pattern.

@@conrad1468 Ah sorry, to clarify, i meant the engine mounts

@@TheZzzzzzzz thank you Sir!! That’s how I like to see videos. No fluff. Straight to work!! 😀

@@LIFTLEGIONCOM not faster. More durable stronger chain. It want stretch like smaller chain.

@@JUKE179r you’re welcome. Thank you for watching. A nickel is good idea too! 😀

@@Rovertube thank you Sir! Hope she’s a strong runner!

@@Rovertube the original petrol is a good little motor. Find a original Scotty adapter is almost impossible. I just happen to find one. I had to find or make everything else for the engine and adapter to work.

@@evanjones2539 it is a 2A engine. Engine code F 2.25L Diesel. Thank you for watching!

@@jdmclash4393 that’s amazing with no damage.

@@evanjones2539 sounds about right. Ha ha!! Same with my 2A.

You are correct. The relay replaces the ballast. Thank you for watching!

No Sir. It went back on the same as it came off.

Thank you Sir! I agree, I’m going to be monitoring ALT temps. If the exhaust heats up the alternator I will make a shield. I’ll make a shield and it’ll be another thing to rattle while driving. Ha ha!!

Thank you Sir! I put a spin on oil filter adapter to my LR engine. Definitely makes it easier and work fine. Atlantic British and Rocky Mountain makes kits. I used the AB version but the RM version looks nicer.

I agree, I’m going to be monitoring ALT temps. If the exhaust heats up the alternator I will make a shield. I agree again. I’m hoping the engine gives it a steady power that’s not crazy. When it’s actually running I’ll do a driving video.

You’re right!! People love to pull out in front of old cars. Makes no sense to me. 109 is a hand full. Ha ha!! 88 would be a handful in a different way. Ha ha

@@conrad1468 Yup! When someone pulls out right in front of me, I leave two types of skid marks. One on the road, and one - well you get the idea!🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

@@calsurflance5598 Oh man!! Ha ha!!

Thank you Sir!

Right! Very similar little engine. 😀

Thank you Sir! I wish you the best of luck on your car.

You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!!

You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!!

Thank you Sir!! Hope she runs smooth down the road too.

Thank you Sir!! It definitely takes a little thinking. Rover V8 would’ve been a nice swap. Light engine with lots of power. Did you like the swap afterwards?

@@conrad1468 I liked it a lot but it was very thirsty for petrol, so much it spoilt ownership eventually. I fitted a Mega squirt system to it hoping to improve economy and that helped, also improving performance and reliability, but in the end I was tempted by another project so sold the V8 to fund it.

@@davidbrodie5044 fuel economy is always a challenge with a V8. I’d like to make a mega squirt FI for something. It sounds interesting to build it.

You are correct. They are stainless steel. I used solid core steel wire. It’s not a critical weld and it’s a small patch. It’s been holding for thousands of miles and many years. So I would say keep it simple with a regular welder.

Thank you Sir! There is a lot to an engine swap. I feel most videos glaze over it and don’t give much help. So I figured I would make a mind glazing boring version. Ha ha!! You’re building an Olds 350 diesel engine (DX)? That’s interesting. I remember when they started making diesel engine in American cars. They were slow and didn’t last long. I remember lots of people complaining about them.

Must not be the correct brackets? My brackets came with my calipers and pins.

@@conrad1468 I can’t find anywhere that has calipers with the brackets

@@jamesbremer5947 I googled the brakes. It looks like they stopped giving the bracket with the calipers. Maybe you can find a used set of brackets? They might still sell the brackets alone?

Right, same but different mounting points.

Ha ha! Lucas lights were used so many cars. It’s fun finding them on all makes. Nothing about going “green” in this Land Rover. Ha ha!!

Lol When I clicked on the short, I didn’t realize it was your’s Cory.👌 Looks a mite humid.😏

@@calsurflance5598 no worries Buddy. It’s been crazy rain for the past 2 weeks. Getting tired on it. Plus everything is getting flood around our town.

@@conrad1468 Can I pick your brain? I’m trying to clean a pealing fuel tank sealer out of my main tank. It spent a week in a hot tank at the local radiator shop. That did nothing. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a pressure washer but you can only get so much and there are some inaccessible corners. I also used the old gravel in the tank trick and shook it until my arms were noodles. Have you ever had to clean out a tank?, and what was your trick? A new tank will run about $400 with shipping, which is an option but I’d like to preserve the original if possible. Thoughts?

@@calsurflance5598 my thoughts on the fuel tank are leave the last bit in there. If you’ve hit the coating that hard and it’s not coming off. It won’t come out. Maybe a few years from now the petrol will slowly eat it away. Try to get all the loose little chunks out and leave the big pieces attached. Keep an eye out during your fuel up for floating chunks.

@@conrad1468 That’s what I’ve decided to do.👍 I’ll watch the fuel filter. I can always put in a new tank down the line.

Thank you Sir!! WTH!! That’s a bunch of silly. I’ve seen some pretty tight belt changes and bolts too.

Hello, I have not had that happen. Sounds like you need to check all the components the belt rides on. Make sure they’re all straight, no worn bearings or gears not crooked a bit.

Im thinking the same. It’s something I’m missing. Thanks for the response.

Ha ha!! My old springs rode like a brick too. My dentist was not happy either. Ha ha!!! Interesting term oculus sinister. I had to look it up. Learn something new everyday! 😀 RHD would have more leg room for the driver. Ha ha!! Basically it comes down to putting the “handed” spring on the driver’s side. The handed one is the taller one. So you don’t get the driver’s lean. So far my truck sits perfectly level side to side. Rides pretty smooth. Best of luck with your springs. I had to order bolts and shackles from Paddocks.

It’s called a Scotty Adapter. They were produced back in the 1990’s. It’s a vintage bellhousing made just for this swap. The adapter has an early gen 1 Chevy bolt pattern. So anything with the same bolt pattern will work. Like an inline 6 or V8.

Thank you Sir!!

You are correct. If my car was a garage kept vehicle. My car sits outside and is driven in the rain (sometimes) so having an open top will flood the engine. A little prop on the bottom let’s air in but not the weather. So it’s worked great for me for many years.
