pushrod relocation?

[printjunky]

About to put my new camshaft in and reassemble my top end. Any idea how bad it is that I dropped my sorted pushrods and now have no idea of the order? (my tappet assys and rollers are all individually and bagged/marked front to back)

This happened to me once with a 225 buick V6....

I just threw them back in... Motor is still running fine.. In fact.. That's the engine I would swap in my 109...

Yeah, I took a close look (no instruments, just eyeballed 'em, but ...) there seems to be none that have any distinctive or notable wear patterns and they all seem to be the exact same length within an eyeballable variation.

They're tractor engines....it'll be fine.

I think it has to be oe of the best off road motors ever... (gas)
I have been searching for a while to see if anybody has done this in a series...( a wright up)
I think it's right in the tolerance level of the stock drivetrain as well...
I would love to see what you are doing and how you adapted everything...

I'm sure I'll get hate mail over this, but here's the lowdown:

V6 mated to a short input T-18, which is mated to a dana18, which is offset and works well with the stock rover axle.

A tera low kit in the dana 18 as well....no pics until she'd finished though...I used to be a Jeep guy....

Same setup I have in my cj5...
With a Saturn od...
When I first got my rover I was debating going that way.. But a rover drive and recon gearbox later I'm sticking with Solihull
