You must of dropped the motor a bit to close the bonnet.Also you will have to laminate & tube the front axle housing as so it won, t bend also strengthen where the swivel housing bolts to the axles.Here in Aust. its done (recommended) JRA (jaguar rover australia) fitted 3.9 Isuzu motors to County, s for that same reason only if vehicle is to driven hard.

That's Amazing and great work done...What have you done for the Steering Pump? I can see the LR Reservoir. However, Can't see where the Pump is.

Where did you plumb the oil return from the vac pump on the alternator? Looks like the feed is coming from the port on top of oil filter housing? Cheers

I have another question to you. Hid you have to reinforce the chassis for the add weight of the engine?
