From: Solihull@aol.com Date: Sun, 22 Feb 1998 16:34:27 -0500 (EST) Subject: 2.5 four cyl where a 2.6 six cyl was Yeah, I know! A preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence (or a phrase) with. I just finished putting a late 2.5 Rover motor into a 72 series IIa which had a very tired 2.6. Here are the highlights. The bellhousings were different, so I had to swap in one from a series three trans. The truck already had a series three gearbox in it anyway. The holes in the bellhousing had to be reamed for the larger 10mm studs on the 2.5, and the clutch from the six worked fine. The used clutch on the used, but 'ready to go!" (where have we heard *that* before?) engine was seized by rust to the pressure plate; what friction material wasn't on the other side of the flywheel, that is. Twenty-something splined anyway. The engine sits about four inches (100 mm for y'all in the EU) further back. By using the brackets that came on the 2.5, I was able to cut the old mount off the frame on that side, and weld it back on a few inches back. On the left side, I cut a frame mount out of a well and truly rusted exMOD frame on the treasure trove o' scrap parts. Cleaned it up and welded it on, by clamping it to the cleaned frame, in place under the mount, with a torpedo level on the valve cover to keep everything plumb. Had to cobb together some strange looking hoses to connect the IIa six radiator to the new mill. That'll work till the owner gets a proper rad made or ordered from the old country. Hooked up the throttle linkage by twisting a piece of the six' bracket 90 degrees, placing it under a cable stop, and used a cut down bicycle brake cable on the cable actuated throttle. Moved the choke cable so it'd reach. Used VW heater box cable clamps to hold them on. Wouldn't want to do it again, but owner didn't want a Chevy mill......go figure. Cheers!!

Tom Dixon Hi Tom, Yes, they are the same, BUT the 109 and 88 are different (I think). Certainly the pickup rear bodies are. Make sure the donor is from a 109. Also, you may find that there are some chassis mountings missing from your chassis, compare it with the donor chassis if you can. Does your SIII have the petrol tank under the drivers seat or at the rear. I f it is in the rear then you will have to blank off the fuel filler hole. Good luck with the swap.

There's like a sunken hole, in which two 12v batteries fit. There are then two "frames" which bolt down on them, to hold them in place. Over this goes the "box". Mines a nice gloss black! :-) This has two vents, and lies fairly low (slightly raised above the height of standard issue Series seat cushions). Makes a handy flat surface for road atlases, lunch, etc! :-) Richard (ex-Gurkha SIII 109 FFR) SPYDERS@aol.com on 02/21/98 10:53:15 PM Please respond to lro@playground.sun.com cc: (bcc: Richard Marsden/EAME/VDGC) Subject: Re: locating 2 6-volt batteries In a message dated 2/21/98 2:15:26 PM, you wrote: >Does anyone have their second battery in the engine compartment with the >first one?

I'm wondering about where to put the 2nd one. The engine compartment is not an option, nor a consideration. Probably it will go under the passenger's seat. pat 93 "w/split charger" 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 27 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980223 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
