Nice
The only thing that stopped me from fitting a V8 (I even already had a 101 engine then) were the petrol prices ![](http://www.pistonheads.com/include/images/frown.gif)

The box is a standard series III, four speed with selactable 2-4 wheel drive with a conversion ring. The flywheel has been tapped and dowled to take a series III 9 1/2" clutch. It has a 101 oil filter housing to move the filter away from the axel and the engine mounts are home made to fit to the origonal chassis mounts.
