B30 engine length
I'm hoping that someone out there with a B30 engine sitting under his workbench can run a tape measure over it and tell me the length from the gearbox mating surface to the front of the crank pulley. I've been Googling forever and I'm unable to find this measurement. Anyone?

It will fit an Amazon if you move the rad in front of the front panel and you don't want a heater box.

A Landrover, that will be an interesting project is it an old series type? Talking of B30 engine transplants take a look at this https://lirp.cdn-website.com/898b2e8...Web+3-480w.jpg it a factory installation of the B30 for the Marcos 3 Litre https://www.rory.uk.com/marcos-3-litre-volvo

Definitely a Series Land Rover - the only kind! A mate of mine years ago drove a B30-engined Land Rover. It ran like a sports car and sounded just as great. I'm thinking of duplicating it, but the extra length could be an issue. |

I suppose the massive weight wont matter in a land rover , it might even be a bonus for traction ... however consider the alloy straight six Volvo 960 engine , probably shorter with its close bore spacing to allow front wheel drive in the later S80 . not to mention 65 extra bhp :-)

I'm strictly old school. That engine is far too complex and modern for a Land Rover, and it's probably rather delicate. You're not going to fix something like that in the woods, or alongside the highway at 3 a.m. in a snowstorm, using hand tools and a roll of duct tape. This is Canada, don't forget! Most damning of all, it's almost certainly wearing electronic fuel injection (shudder). Death before digital!!! Electronics put me at the mercy of those evil, money-grubbing masters of the add-on charges, the "professional repair shops". No thank you! If I'm staying with gasoline, it has to be carbs and mechanical ignition. |
