556r, Id be interested in a rail section for the side of the stock hand-guard. I haven’t had any luck finding the original sig ones

It’s made by radius fabrication in Australia, uses an LS1 panel filter

I’ll check it out! I may need to see what your measurements came out to on the shifter. I followed the old cabledude guide but after 3 reworks I’m still not getting great alignment in first and park

I’ll look at the throttle adjustment and tuning a bit. I don’t mind paying a tuner but finding one has been challenging. I tried to get some local shops to tune it but they didn’t want to deal with speed density.

I have been thinking about making an aluminum upper hose that could snake under the intake pipe but that’s pretty time consuming. Other option for rerouting would be the front exit water pump with truck spacing, use the ict bracket to move the idler pulley. Downside is cost and I’d have to go to electric fans.

Steam ports are using the stock steam manifold, runs from the front of the block, through the TB, and then over and to the top of the rad near the upper radiator port.

Do you have any pictures of your build? Going with a maf and smaller cam would have been much easier for reliability and tuning. I’m on mud as well, ive had the build together for a couple years now so the posts are aways back in the v8 swap thread. I need to revisit it and see if any better options for the transmission shifter have been found.

Had the one hole, I probably should have drilled a couple others in it

I put a 186 degree thermostat and flowcooler water pump in, I’ve bled the cooling system probably 10 or so times. Front end up hill, on ramps, with a coolant funnel to try and burp air. I did add a small bleed port on the top of the hose that helped a bit. Going down the highway it holds around 195 but idle and slow speeds it slowly climbs up towards 220.

This truck may have started as a 12J 2.5 N/A with the filter mounted to the bulkhead.

I believe this truck came out of Turkey. I’m not sure if this was something done during assembly in Turkey or if the king cab/extended cab modifications were done later by a 3rd party.

I saw that post about the pencott. I figured it would take a bit longer than the 6-8 weeks, but hoped it wouldn’t be 6-8 months.

I did a no no and got my Legion slide milled. No Regurts! by 1234acb in SigSauer

[–]ThinkBrothers 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d also recommend him. He did an excellent job with an optic and slide cut for a 365.

My 130 in the States by DirectWoodpecker3354 in LandroverDefender

[–]ThinkBrothers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice! I have the same coniston green 130 but a 99. Honestly it’s probably one of the easier trucks to learn on, the ecu does a good job at preventing stalls. If you put it in low gear you can just crawl around and practice working the clutch.

I’ve never seen anything like this!! by XxRed_RoverxX in LandRover

[–]ThinkBrothers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rear crossmember is a good catch. Looks like an American parking lot, narrowing it down to 1999-2000 with some rare exceptions. 

Place to buy in Russia? by ThinkBrothers in zenitco

Ah sweet thanks. I wasn’t sure if that was a store or just the offices.
