Why don't you put the 1.3 in?

Mind you the engine sits a long way forward in the LJ, will need the fan taken off it and an electric unit in front of it. Also the 1.3 carby is a downdraft so may need a bonnet hole or something to mount the air hose to it. You will also get the 5-speed.

Hmmm... I could have sworn there were more messages in this thread yesterday... ????

I bet if I say something like "Lucky the Overlander forum doesn't have the same policy or half the current members wouldn't even know this place existed" :o it would be frowned upon, so I won't. ;D ;)

I will have a gripe that the Overland board has broken down AGAIN though... Hope this turns out to be a bit more reliable... ::)

Spring Lift
Bigger tyres
3.8 commodore engine conversion (or bigger if you want)

How's that for a start.
