Finally got it all back together, in, and running. Fired right up (always surprised…). Only one code to knock out - P0340. New CPS on the way. TWS 4.6 w 4.0 pistons, stage 2 heads, cam and all the goodies. Runs smooth and great oil pressure.

 

All those fresh clean parts sure are pretty.

 

Looking great! Does it have any chop from the stage 2 cam?

 

Not at all - good manners. Runs strong.

 

Nice work!

 

Looks really nice . Great job .

 

I must confess… Complete long block when I got it. All I did was put the pan, pump, front cover, and valve covers on, and shoehorned it in.

 

Any more info on the thermostat build you've got there mate?

 

Beautiful motor and D2. Nice photos.

 

Pretty straight forward. Meziere in line t-stat assembly, 180F GM t-stat, and some 90 degree radiator hose. There's an old write up on here with instructions and pics.

The trick part it the aluminum "T" from CARS4X4 (also have the aluminum multi hose adapter that sits next to the water pump) that I modified for a mechanical water temp gauge - https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...estion-100877/
