i've tried searching the site and didn't find much.

anywho a couple of sundays ago durning dinner the neighbor came in and told us my girlfriends and rover was on fire.

it burned the seats / bash / and all wiring under the dash.






looked at going with ford EDIS parts and a mega jolt but stand alone ecu's get pricey..

i had originally looked at the buick intake /cam and distributor swap.. but then read all these other things that had to be done ..




2 days ago i was told that with a 4.0 rover motor and the right donor motor you can take the intake off pull the cam and distributor put on the rover and thats all thats involved..

anyone have any info on this?

 

I'm not sure I'm following you. The gasoline didn't burn it enough? You want to torch it some more with LPG?

 

Nice cage. What did it look like before?

 

www.aulro.com I'd try over there since it's legal in other countries

 

megasquirt is really inexpensive, and standalone of some flavor would be the "right" way to do it.

but more to the point, is that your truck??
if so, i hope youre not planning on fixing it...?

 

there was not even a gas tank hooked to the rig buddy.

fire =no electrical left

no electrical left = nightmare to make run

swapping to a distributor and propane mixer( carb) would require very little wiring..

but thanks for you your post it was super helpful and productive..

 

did the original post say it was mine?

did the original post say i was planning on fixing it?


you hope i dont fix it so should i just throw the air shocks away ( you probably dont know what those are, throw away the 1 ton axles with 5.13 gears and detroit lockers front and rear, 35 spline stub shafts?

again thanks for you're help maybe next time read the damn post before you say stupid **** k thanks

does anyone on here know about swapping from gems to a carb and distributor?

or do you all just know how to say stupid things like" hope your not going to fix that"

 

thanks i'll check it out

 

see Inlet Manifold Fittings - V8 Carbs at www.rimmerbros.co.uk - and Rick Ingram's 1974.5 MGB GT with Bored and Stroked Rover V8 - those blokes in the UK have been at this for a while and have shoved a Rover v-8 into just about anything with wheels. Perhaps something from a Buick Skylark (215 CID engine) would bolt up. There are a variety of intakes available. I like these - beats the heck out of a pretend boost $70 chip.... (that pretty purple one is bored and stroked to about 5 liter - and sitting in an MG rocket sled).

Some would also say just go back with a megasquirt system. You have several options. But you'll still need some wiring. At least now you'll be sure the immobilization is "disco-nnected".

As for LP conversions, not so much in US because of insurance, smog laws in various places, etc. Most owners are just happy for another day without temp gauge going to the rail. Not saying it a'int done, can't be done, shouldn't be done.
