      Let me know about the engine conversion. Wonderful engine but are you worried about the EXTRA weight? I'd love to see pictures as it progresses.

        I think the 1983 standard factory set up is with the LT95 transmission.

        There is a hi-lo transfer gear lever and a seperate centre-diff lock plunger that sits in the center of the seat box. It plunges forwards and backwards.

        The centre-diff lock is air /vacuum activated - so there are chances for leaks and otehr stuck linkages.

        The Defenders went to a different configuration with the LT77 and the R-330 transfer cases later on. On these gear boxes, the diff lock was engagued from the hi-lo lever.
        The Lt77 and Lt230 was standard issue on all engines except the v8's in 83. The LT95 was only ever mated to 3.5 V8 engines. The vaccum difflock was only used on the lt95's.
