Having worked here, you may have seen some of the tourists whose

Greetings from Mount Shasta, CA.

My red 64 IIA is a truck that was rescued from a rusty
New England trash heap, its chassis turned into dust. 
4 years later, it is still cosmetically challanged,
but has a solid infrastructure. Small problems fixed
with your help, especially AJR (thanks again), I had
it trucked out from Boston by company that had the bad
judgement to load it directly over a 1999 Porsche
carrara convertible...
I was just congratulating myself for having 5 months
of trouble free daily driving here when I pulled up to
a store behind a mint condition 65 IIA softtop 88.  I
walked into the store and saw an older gent, wearing
an Orvis hat and boots, and pegged him as the owner. 
We had a nice chat, it turns out he bought it new in
San Francisco, it has 100 K miles, custom leather
seats, matching canvas tire cover and tonneau cover. 
He added a small padded internal roll bar, and had
machined a slick panel over the left fender pedal
towers.  He told me it doesn't leak a drop of oil,
never has, and it doesn't leak water or air into the
cab.  You could eat off the floor mats.  He has been
offered 40 to 50 thousand dollars for his truck, but I
don't think he would sell it for a hundred.  He also
has a 1969 Mercedes coupe in original condition.
I am sharing this because it gave me a completely
different look at the IIA 88.  It is a beautiful,
elegant beast, that should be workhorse and also a
family heirloom.  I am inspired.  My beatup IIA has a
future, and someday may even allowed on my garage
floor without a huge spill proof mat underneath.  
Thank you, Russ from Mount Shasta, and to the rest of
you who dedicate so much energy preserving the
heritage of this crude, yet magnificant machine.
Happy Holidays,

Peter
1964 IIA 88

I've got one.  What are your questions?

Just to take a stab at a possible question...  If you run the numbers the 
high range overall gear ratios come out VERY close to having a pair of 
range Rover diffs installed.

And since I love data:

Overall ratios calculated at the axle, in high range fourth gear

Stock series (4.7:1) - 5.4:1
Series with 4.1:1 diffs - 4.72:1
  (13% decrease in revs at a given RPM)
Series with 4.7:1 and Fairy/Superwinch OD - 4.22:1
Series with Ashcroft conversion - 4.09:1
Series with 3.54 diffs - 4.07:1
V8 D90, 3.54 diff - 4.32:1 in 4th (5th - 3.65:1)

Unless you have a topless 88 the Ashcroft conversion may place your high 
range ratios a little high for your average 2.25L engine to push in 
fourth gear.  Works great with a more powerful engine though.  I love 
mine, but I'm turning it with a 302 V8.

For a 109 I suggest staying with stock ratios and for an 88 I might 
suggest trying the 4.1 ring & pinions.  This assumes stock 2.25 engines.  
The LR six in a 109 could handle the 4.1s & a conversion to the 3 L Rover 
six engine could probably handle the Ashcroft kit OK.  The Chevy 6 and 
the Ashcroft kit would be a good combination as would be the 4 cyl 
conversion that Rob Davis is doing in Virginia.

That's my plan.  Only I am doing rangy gears and 35" tires.  With the GM
tranny 1st will work out to lower then stock, and in 4th I will be able to
hit 75 at 2500.

All of this begs a question, what is the redline for a 2.25 petrol 8:1 stock
engine?

For some reason I thought it was 4 grand.  So I drive at 3-3200.  Get up to
3500 when accelerating for a gear change.  Then someone on the RN board is
trying to say that a 2.25 will handle 5200 no problem, I think his sky is
yellow and the sun blue.
Anyway, I am complaining of not being able to drive very fast up hills.  But
if I can go another grand of rpm in a lower gear then no wonder.
Thanks bunches

Surely the answer is to plonk your foot square on the floor in neutral and find
out? the 2.25 engine is very restricted in its breathnig by a small carb, narrow
intake ports and conservative valve-timing. The engine, whilst torquey thanks to
this, is strangled in its upper-limits by these, meaning like the VW beetle, its
pretty unbustable so I can't see you doing any damage under no-load conditions.

I'd guess nearer 5,000rpm than 4,000. On 205R16 tyres 15mph = 1000rpm in 4th.
30=2000, 45=3000, 60-4000, 75=5000. In good nick a SWB Landie so-equipped will
top out at 70-75, which is 4600-5000rpm.

By contrast the engine (2 litre Rover twincam) I want to put in my Landie is
electronically limited to 7,000rpm. Intersting the two totally different
approaches to engine swaps. One to do 75mph @ 2500rpm (of 2500?), the other to
do 75mph @ 5000rpm (of 7,000).

Errrrrr.....bad idea.

A no-load scenario will do nothing but tell you the
"ultimate" redline where the engine simply refuses to
push any faster. That's limited by valve float and (if
I recall other conversations) is right around 5K or a
bit more.

That's the redline the guy on the RN board is talking
about - and frankly he is not being kind to his engine
if he's doing that to it on a regular basis.

Normal redline on the Rover 4 is considered to be 4250
RPM. Even that's high for an engine you want to keep
around for a long time...that design is made to run
under load all day every day and not scream along at
redline all day.

I didn't bother to calculat that number because I do not have  Big Power 
stroke diesel to push it.  I just have a tiny 302 V8.

However:

Series, Ashcroft High ratio transfercase, 4.1 diff - 3.57:1 in high range 
4th gear

That is slightly taller than a D90 in fifth gear (3.65:1)

With A ashcroft transfercase conversion plus 3.54 diffs you would almost 
need a granny first gear just to get moving.

Well with real good valve springs he might be able to get it that high.  
But I do not think the engine will last long at all.  Remember Charles in 
Southern California used to talk about running his Land Rover 75-80 MPH.  
It's doubtful if his engine can be brought back into spec with a 0.040" 
cylinder bore. I think he is looking for a complete replacement engine.

My shift point was 4000 RPM when I was trying to merge into traffic and I 
kept highway cruise RPMs in the 3200 to 3400 RPM range (55-60 MPH area).

Like you I'm a believer that there is a relationship between cruise RPMs 
and engine longevity.

I do not think LR ever published a redline for the engine.  I've seen 
factory power specs on a fresh engine for as high as 4250 RPM, so I would 
suspect the real redline is higher than that but probably not all that 
much higher.

I don't know about the petrol version, but something tells me that 4250
r.p.m. is the red line for the SIII 2.25l diesel.

Incidentally, the easy way to set the limit on the pump to achieve this
rpm is to drive in 3rd gear on a flat road - when full pedal gives 42
k.p.h. that's suposed to be 4250 rpm. That at least is the trick as I
was taught it.

As for petrol - not my area of expertise at all, so I'll watch this
space...

Redline and max sustainable RPM are not one in the same.  Pushrod engines 
should not be cruised at much over 3500rpm.  The factory redline is a 
combination of crank flex and valve float with a safety factor thrown in.  
Usually this rpm is quite substantial like 6,000 rpm for a pushrod, solid 
lifter car.  Running anywhere near this speed will result in the engine 
wearing out very quickly, though not the self destruction of the engine.

As an example, had a 67 MGB with the 5 main engine.  Cruised at 4,000rpm 
minimum, often went 100's of miles at 5,000rpm and occasionally ran it up to 
near redline in 4th gear for long periods.  Needed major head work, like 
total rebuild including valves, seats and guides at 20,000 miles.  Had a 
Renault Gordini which was a hotted up Dauphine.  Used to shift when it would 
quit accelerating.  First valve job was at 8,000 miles and 4,000 mile 
intervals, thereafter.

Just because an engine is redlined at a certain rpm does not mean that it 
will run at or anywhere near that rpm for long periods of time without 
wearing out quickly.

I'd keep the Rover under 4,000rpm for any extended cruising though very 
occasional forays up to 5,000rpm should be okay.  Personally, I try to live 
at 3,500 rpm and not go above the equivalent of 4,000rpm.

My owners manual states that the petrol gets max horsepower at 4200rpms, but
no mention of redline.

Another one of those 'ole wifes tales' I have stuck in the cobwebs of my
mind goes, 1k per cylinder.  So a 2.25 4 cyl would be 4k, a 350 would be 8k.
This doesn't seem correct either haha

Thanks for all the feed back.
Ihave no intention of running for extended periods of time over 3500, but
it's good to know that 3500 is not the max limit.  I may have mentioned I
try to keep it at 3000 rpms.  So up the steep grade to Snoqualmi pass I am
only doing 35mph, which is 3000 in 3rd gear.

I have one--stock 2.25 running 235/85x16 tires. I love it. Only way I
wouldn't do it again is if I had to climb mountains on a daily basis.
Otherwise, it makes the Rover more driveable around town and more pleasant
on the highway.

RoverOn!

Subject: [lro] Looking for a Series 88
Reply-To: [email-masked]

Hi everyone,

As some of you know I am in the process of replacing my daily driver and
would like to do so with another Series truck.

I am looking for an 88.  Since I am right in the middle of a complete frame
off re-do on my 109, I'd need to find something that is solid enough to go
right into service as a daily driver and would prefer the Station Wagon
models.

Series II - IIa - III?  Doesn't really matter, depends on what's available.
I don't mind traveling a bit to get the right vehicle either.

So if anyone knows of anything, please feel free to get in contact with me -
info below.

Thanks,

Rich Williams

Reply-To: [email-masked]

Had arrangements to get one of these from someone but they fell through. 
Anyone have a spare they'd want to sell/donate?  I have a spare tranny in
pieces all over the garage I'd love to put together.  It was a 6 cyl and
I shipped the bell housing off to someone and need a 4-cyl.
