Your's is going to be sweet Randy. I've followed the thread on its build on D90 Source.
Maybe not. There is a lot of dust building up on the last posting.Originally Posted by Leslie
People tell me I have a hybrid, though I tend not to think of my Land Rover as one.
Everything is Land Rover except for 3 items:
The Scout II power steering box,
the fuel injected Ford 302,
and the Borg Warner T-18 gearbox.
Oppps! I almost forgot the very recent change, so make that 4 items:
Front disc brakes!
Other than that The Green Rover is just your average 2 door Land Rover Dormobile

I am almost finished with the wife's SIIA 109, a standard three door with trop top. 3.9 liter Rover V8 with Holley 4V but otherwise stock, R380 5 speed and Range Rover 3.54 disc brake axles. Not much of a hybrid, but I have plans for another 109 on a LWB RR chassis.

It sounds like it will be a nice rig when finished and any bugs worked out. A leaf sprung 110. But I am puzzeled by one thing.Originally Posted by siiirhd88
Why did you convert from EFI to a four barrel? I'm wondering because after almost 7 years of using a 4 barrel I went through a great deal of effort to covert my 302 to EFI. Is the LR EFI unreliable?
My reasons ar as follows:
1. better fuel mileage
2. additional power
3. Smoother throttle response
4. smoother operation at steep angles
5. Increased relability
6. Instant fuel mixture compensation for altitude changes

I converted to the four barrel for simplicity. For the time being I will run the carb, and see how it performs. I know it is notn the best for angles and tilts. My 88 has a 3.9 V8 with the same carb and ignition, and has managed 17 mpg with 4.70 axles and OD. I have run it over 30K miles without any problem, except a multiple rollover. I have two LR 3.9 liter EFI setups that I might play with for the future. The LR electronics are not known for their durability and seem overly complicated.... There is a somewhat nearby specialist shop that does a lot of MGB V8 and TR8 EFI conversions, using a simpler and hopefully more reliable electronics and sensors. I might drop by for a look.
