Davis has put together. Anyone who has seen or driven the beast will attest to the fact that this thing is scary fast. The problem is in the $$$$. This conversion costs more than most people paid for their rovers. The Volvo thing is a complete mystery. There is a fellow with a conversion for a Volvo B20B that he will sell for a very fair price but the question to be answered is if this "Mystery Diesel" out of the boat is the same block/bolt pattern as the B20B. The quest continues....

From: Winn Bearden <wbearden@americus.net>
Subject: No homage to Lucas god
After having to adjust the points on my V-8 5 times just to drive
from home to the shop, I decided to see if the rumor was true; that a
Buick HEI would fit in a Rover V-8.
To make a long story short (besides hunting through junkyards to
find an elusive Buick V-8 HEI), it only took about 2.5 hours to make the
conversion. The hybrid runs like it has a new engine!
I won't bore the list with details but if anyone wants details I'll
be glad to explain the process step by step.

From: Solihull@aol.com Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 13:59:49 -0500 (EST) Subject: Fuel screen substitute for non FI tanks I just found the part number for the VW fuel pickup screen used in beetles. It is brass and has an aluminum washer attached, so it goes up into the tank. For our purposes, we'd cut off the ring and secure it to the pickup tube and put it down into the tank. PN is 111-209-147a. Cheers!!

Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 16:43:42 -0500 From: Peter Monk <monk@math.udel.edu> Subject: IIa windscreen wiper motor Hi I am trying to get the windscreen wipers going on my IIa. I took out the motor/gearbox and the motor runs, but the whole the very old grease etc in the gearbox and flexible shaft won't allow it to drive the wipers (I think). Here are the questions: 1) What grease to use on the flixible drive and in the windscreen motor gearbox? The manual suggests "Ragosine Listate 225" grease - what's special about this and is there a readily available (in the US) equivalent? 2) Should I try to lubricate the motor? With what and where? Thanks in advance..... Peter Monk ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980216 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I wish I would have read your message before I deleted the name of the guy selling the adapter for the B20... My friend is going to go the Chevy route, so why don't you go ahead and do the Volvo motor for yourself. The person with the volvo adapter is on the list. good luck Russ Wilson Leslie Bittner Fort Pitt Land Rover Group Pittsburgh, Pa. ------------------------------[ <- Message 12 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980216 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: Kevin Sellitti <Kevinsel@gte.net> Subject: Defender Pickup Website up! sort of............ Date: Sun, 15 Feb 1998 19:47:01 -0500 I finally got the Defender Pickup website up and running.

I have only tested it with IE30 and IE40 so far. So if any of you Netscape users have any problems please let me know. Consider the page Beta right now but, check back often I still have allot to do. I should be done in a week or two. I will be constantly adding as I still have some info coming from overseas. enough apologizing in advance.
