Ok, so i've found that Rover Centre in Skye in Melbourne have both the adaptors in stock. These have countersunk bolts which first bolt to the head, then the inlet manifold bolts to the spacers, thus elimnating the vacuum leaks. The other style which just untilises a longer bolt is from Toorak Tractors but from what I have read these are the type that people have vacuum leak issues with. --Previous Message-- : Hey All : : I'm trying to find out if you can still : get the adaptors to fit a P76 into a : 1990 4 door rangie. What started out as : just a blown head gasket is turning : into a complete rebuild and I don't : think its going to be able to be done : cheaply. The 3.9 had done about 230000 : (well thats what the speedo says) - : already replaced transfer and gearbox. : : Yes if I had plenty of cash I would buy : the 4.6 as suggested by a couple of RR : workshops. : : I have spoken to quite a variety of : people/places, basically have 3 options : - rebuild current motor, buy 2nd hand : late nineties 3.9 or fit P76. The P76 : was rebuilt before I purchased it and : has good power/torque, but has a holley : and would prefer to stick with the EFI. : It is in my old 2 door. : : Now I believe there are/were 2 : different sorts of adaptors - the first : just bolt through the inlet manifold : into the head and the second bolt to : the head first then the inlet manifold : bolts to the adaptor plate. I am on the : understanding that the top and bottom : of the adaptors are not parallel due to : the different angles between the inlet : manifold and the V of the motor. : : Does anybody have a spare set or know : who can supply them. I have spoken to : Davis, Graeme Cooper, Triumph rover and : several others who all are unable to : assist. : : Then I believe there is also an adaptor : to fit the ZF. : : So who has successfully done this? Are : there going to be more issues than I'm : aware of (I know the air con lines will : need to be changed due to different : mounting position.) : : Thanks for assistance. I'm based in : Brisbane. : : Cheers : Guy :
