Thought it had been quiet recently, also explains why you were selling the LT77... Was hoping my FC was going to be the first M57 one, got an engine and manual box but now you're leaving me thinking on an auto.
Killed the lt77 back in February, in a snow storm going up a hill late at night 🤣 Felt I have done plenty with tdi's previously and the m57 is an attractive choice! Auto because there is no clutch to kill 👍🤣 Hopefully have it driving at the weekend... Auto could bite us yet... Only time will tell 👍
@Motors and Metal uk I swopped one of the later engines and a 6HP into my L322 Rangie after it shat its second 5L40E at the end of last year. Transformed the car entirely for the better, and should be great in an FC. My IIB is going manual as the chassis is galvanised and the auto combo is too long to fit between crossmembers without cutting. The IIA might get an auto as I don't mind cutting the chassis on it.
@@Daslandroverman sounds great 👍 the chassis on this has been hacked around previous to me... So I don't mind chopping it some more 🤣 It will get a new chassis at some point!
Been following this build and it's awesome. I like the steel constructed adapter between auto box and transfer box. Doing a conversion myself, M57, 6hp auto into a 130 motorhome. Are you willing to share the CAD drawing (dxf) for the adapter components? Would really help.
Interesting video, luck forward to part two

Awesome video!
You should be very proud of your work!
Keep going!
Cheers, hopefully show it driving early next week.... Fingers crossed!

how to install a rev counter too ?
Any chance I could buy the manifold from your old engine 😂
🤣 sadly it sold with the engine!
If you want one .... Get in touch.... Send one over and we can chop it up 😉
