I think its pretty funny that there are those folks on the list who say
conversions have no place in Land Rover History. Classic head in ass
syndrome. It doesn't take long to come up with a long list of conversions
that are notable points in rover history:
-The factory approved Australian Perentie with an Izuzu Diesel?
-The fact that that same Izuzu engine has been offered as an option in
Australia by dealerships since 1981.
-The salsbury axle which is obviously a dana item.
-The 127 inch bonneted control 1 ton pickup with a Perkins diesel fitted by
the factory? -Some rover dealerships in US in the late 60s offered to fit
327 chevy V8s to series trucks for $1500 additional dollars.
-Santana (don't get me started here)
-Nevermind the Buick engine they have been sticking in their trucks since the
70s.
-Just look look at the first land rover . . .it was a conversion -> on a Jeep
. . .
Need I say more?
