Is your block at the machinist? Did you remove your liners yourself or are they going to machine them out? How did you find your machinist? Remind your machinist it is an interference fit of minimum 0.0025" to 0.004" so that the liners are nice and tight in the block.

That junk on the bottom of the your pan makes me wanna pull mine and see whats in it.... nasty.
As far as a cam goes, that would be a great addition to a trail rig for sure... looking at the specs. Keep us posted on that because I'm definitely interested in adding more down low grunt. Cam, with these http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hed-39800
and a free flow exhaust would do wonders for this truck.

If you head over to v8british.org and look at their forums, you'll find a lot more information on aftermarket land rover engines. Over there they only talk about putting big v8 engines in little cars, like the MG.

I have been looking into headers but I only found long tube and I would like to find shorties, the hunt continues.
As for the oil pan, when I started to clean it I thought the bottom was smooth and just really black then I put my finger into it as was shocked. The sludge was so thick (3/4" atleast) and plugging the oil drain hole which shocked me, how do you change the oil? I have rebuilt many engines and this one was really abused by the last owner which looked like he never had clean oil ever do to scoring on the crank, the cylinder walls aren't any better. I'll keep you posted on the cam.
