Pretty sure this hasn't been posted. Just another interresting site that those aussies have that we don't. Someone might be able to use it. Have a friend here in dallas about to drop a LT-1 in a rangie in about three weeks with their adapters. Should be cool.

Yeh Mark's is big here in OZ but he is not the only manufacturer
of engine swap kits.

And there is another but i can't find there werbsite {Dellow Engineering}
They use custom replacement bell housing instead of adaptor plates.

My Chev Rangie uses a Rodshop kit to fit 350 smallblock into the Rangie engine bay.

Interesting stuff. I've heard of them before. I am about 1-2 years away from an engine and tranny rebuild. Maybe I need to do some math and see if the a conversion to a Chevy or something else would be beneficial. I really only want about 240 HP out of my next engine and this could be attained with a LR 4.6L and minor performance tuning. Hmmmm.

A standard 350 puts out around 260 hp and performs very well in a Rangie.

My next Chevy will be a 400 or 383 that will be built for a high torque output...{aprox 500 - 600 lb/foot }
To run 37 or 38" tyres without the need for a 4.7 diff ratio.

speaking of swaps, i would love to entertain the possibility of dropping in a 4.6L or 5.4L modular ford motor - anyone done this with the modular block?

i estimate another 12-14 months on my current engine. will know more after having a gander at the main bearings sometime next month, and possibly dropping in a new set of lifters . . . mine are getting kind of noisy.

cheers,
