New Rover owner here. Recently purchased a 65 Series IIa left hand drive Diesel. The vehicle came without a motor and just recently scored a replacement. The replacement is a series III diesel that looks to be in decent shape and will do some minor maintenance, install it and hope for the best for now.
The first question among many. The vehicle has the original Series IIa transmission which took the 9" clutch. The motor came with a 9.5" clutch. I believe that the release bearings are different between the two. Will the 9.5" Series III clutch work with the Series IIa release bearing? Or will I need to find a Series IIa flywheel?
Second question. Does anyone know of a side exit diesel exhaust manifold laying around? My current exhaust is set up for that and the motor came with a down exit exhaust manifold.
Thanks,
Steve
