Catching up with this thread, and being generally unfamiliar with Rovers has been a continuous progression of what the gently caress. Also; Adiabatic is a better man than most of us for not pushing the damned thing out of his garage and throwing a road flare in through an open window, and then relaxing with a beer in hand, enjoying the warmth of his new backyard RoverFire.

CSB, aside from stockholm syndrome, why didn't you ever put a LS series engine in yours when you had it? Seems like you had the know-how.

I thought about this a lot last night in bed and decided that I think swapping in a F20C is the best course of action going forward.

You should look for http://www.destihlbrewery.com/Wild_Sour_Series_2.html I drank the four pack of Flanders Red in short order. Very tasty, quite sour. Also a good bit cheaper, since it's not imported.

Its almost bolt in if you know which GM parts to pillage from what. NVs emissions forbid me from legally doing an engine swap. CA I could do it after paying some fines and visiting the bar guys. I wanted a 6.2/6.5, which is still an improvement...

Yeah. But theres inadequacies with the platform too. Radius arms are poo poo. axles are made from wet babyshit, steering boxes are bullshit. The Tcase is the only drat good thing in the running gear. It was just worth it for me to cash out vs try and unfuck the mess.

cursedshitbox posted:That ain' a disco. The Aus one was the Isuzu 4BD1 in the Series III and then the coily 110/120 Landrovers. Massive powerhouse engine that, 3.9L of 4cyl NA fury- all of 78kw and 207nm of torque. The 6x6 Perentie the Aus Army developed used the 4BD1-T which bolted a turbo to the same engine, that coughed out 100kw and 330nm. Probably the pick of the engines in the Aus landies is the TD5- 2.5L 5cyl turbo diesel that still only made 122hp, but used it well.

Oh drat, nice find man! Once the conversion is complete you'll have to bring it out here, I'm sure there's a ton of fire trails in Nelson to bomb around on.

What are the plans for it of than manual and 4wd? The engine is leaking oil and running slightly rough, as well as some  wiring issues. Heat in the cabin sucks, and I can't yet tell if it's a cooling problem or just the heater core. Lastly anything over 55 is harrowing. So step one is to unfuck the PO's "work". After that I'll probably just enjoy it while I source parts for the manual/4WD swap. I'm in no hurry to get it there and the girlfriend is excited that I finally have an auto for her to drive around, so I'll let her get bored of it first. Terrible Robot posted:Oh drat, nice find man! Once the conversion is complete you'll have to bring it out here, I'm sure there's a ton of fire trails in Nelson to bomb around on. I'm definitely down to do some trails. Afterwards we can set up the telescope and see some cool poo poo since RVA is so bright. and hold hands and talk about the universe. How's your Neil deGrasse Tyson impression?

A box full of gaskets arrived today, let me know when you're ready to welcome a rover back into your life. Totally available to help out with the Jeep or MR2 if needed too. Even if not needed I'm available to drink beer, observe and criticize.

Put the MJ on the lift today:  The sheer lack of rust is just stupidly incredible:      The engine bay, however      What a lovely thing to do to such a well-preserved truck. God damned rednecks. Also found this in my coolant reservoir:  O Great Jeep Whisperer Kastein says it's not engine oil as I had suspected, but transmission oil. Looks like it's time to check the trans level and look into another oil cooler Projects? Already?!?! Lucky me!

What exactly did you think would happen? I am drat jealous and if I ever need another MJ I am coming down to go MJ hunting. I've never even seen some of that sheetmetal, it just doesn't exist. The header panel is fortunately an XJ part, you can swap on a complete nose as new as a 96 and it'll bolt right up. If you want to swap only the fiberglass shell and put all your lights and grille and plastics and crap on it the newest you can use is a 90.

Sweet. That looks real clean. Those MJs are all RENIX right? If you don't go the kastein route and tear that whole system out, here's some stuff I did to my RENIX XJ. Firstly, Cruiser54's RENIX Tips is pretty useful. Things you should do
All the ground/connection stuff is a little tedious but you can knock it out in an afternoon and it eliminates a ton of the common issues the RENIX jeeps suffer from. I also gradually replaced my TPS/O2 sensor/IAC/knock sensor/engine temp sensor/most of the gaskets & seals/etc. The thing runs fantastically well.

^^^^ Totally gonna go all that soon. Thanks for the info! ^^^^ Welp, just found this bullshit on the roof:  That rust spot from the CB antenna is 6" across. The hole is straight through to the headliner. Gonna pull the interior this Saturday to see if the floors are rusting from rain.  loving HILLBILLIES
