I posted a while ago about getting my engine swapped out with a rebuilt one with those top hats fixed and he oil pump gear problem fixed (no knocking) someone on here was nice enough to list a few different rebuilding shops. I know British Atlantic but another option, with good references was a guy in Oklahoma. Any with info, links, phone numbers is appreciated. I remember talking to the guy in Oklahoma and he seemed like my preferred choice. Unfortunately, I was thinking I could just go to my profile here, click threads I started an get this info. This option doesn't work anymore, only gives me two random threads which don't help.


Also, when I'm taking it to my local non dealer land rover guy to install this engine, ballpark, how many hours of labor should I be expecting him to quote me. As always guys, thanks in advance.

Great Plains Rover went out of business.

I currently have a Cannibal v8 and about to buy another.

 

Thanks, I found their info via another board. Appreciate the response.

 

I had a good experience with Turner Engineering in England.

if my math is right that's only a Little over $4100 for a complete top hat engine.

 

pretty much the same with cannibal, 'short block'
Cannibal V8 Short Block 4.6

 

and they got a long block for $5100. Seems a lot more reasonable than AB.


Cannibal V8 BLACKLINE Long Block High Performance 4.6


Dumb question, are these Buick blocks or bosch blocks?

 

They were all based off the buickV8

 

Your comparing a C v8 short block $4100 to a turner long block with a front cover for $4100.

I believe the question you wanted to ask is are they Gems or Boshe?

If they did really have Buick blocks there would be no need for replacement engines. Buick cast the steel sleeves in place, LR in there wis-DUMB decided to install them after casting.

 

Ah, gotcha. Dummy me didn't read all the descriptions and took the 'short block as a 'small block' Appreciate the help drowssap!
