Lr refurb

Hi Chris, Thank you for your comments. Due to them been on the opposite sides I’ve actually remade all the body panels in aluminium to get rid of any holes from the pinto. I’ve also removed all the sierra medal box as you mentioned. one to make some more room but also it just looked a little rough. I’ll have a look at the GBS as I haven’t found a pedal box yet.

HI, I bought a 2b a few years ago during the lock down and decided to rebuild the whole thing and put a St170. Started off with a working car now I have myself a pile of parts . Purchasing a complete focus St170 I have pulled out the engine and stripped this ready for cleaning up and prepping. This will be matted unto the type 9 Gearbox all been well. So my plan is to fit a new bell housing to the type 9 allowing the use of a Hydraulic clutch system. Now the engine will be RWD I suspect a dry sump will be require to stop the chance of oil starvation? I have also looked at a Throttle body kit from Dan st which seem to have some good feedback My plan is also to turbo the engine once I've got it in place and see how much room I've got around it. I am looking for peoples options who have either done this conversion or have experience with this kind of set up. What do I need to consider while doing it? What problems am I likely to come across? Also if anyone has anything available for sale that I will require during the build. I have a work shop which specialises in landrover restoration along with a fabrication shop where we have fibre lasers and machinery so making engine mounts etc isn't a problem. I Hope there is someone out there who can steer me in the right direction and might have a few bits i need laying around
