This is my brother's Landrover 110, powered by a 4.0 litre V8 on LPG. He replaced the original 3.5 with an engine he built from scratch - using a bored-out 3.5 SD1 Vitesse block, Rhoads lifters, uprated pushrods, Duplex timing chain, Weber 500 performance carburetor on an Edelbrock intake manifold, tubular headers, Mallory distributor with 40kV coil + a fancy high flow OHG x-450a LPG system from IWEMA with a Tornado 450 elbow. There may have been more but those are the main things I think! The exhaust system was homemade from the tubular manifolds back. After filming this, he found out the ballast resistor had failed, which was causing the engine to cough at high rpm when under load. This has now been fixed so I'll have to get him to drive it about some more so I can film it working properly, also on petrol, as it sounds even nicer on petrol! I tried to get my car to sound more like this, but failed. I think Rover V8s just have a distinct sound which is hard to beat.
