Lucas 16 or 18ACR is what the factory fitted.


Thanks!

Don't worry about the links, I think I'm going to chuck it all together using the parts/bracketry I got from the RRC setup for now, I can't see anywhere it may foul or cause issues Thumbs Up Matt.

An update on this thread - the engine's all in situ now using the RRC setup for the PAS pump and alternator and hasn't shown up any issues now the wings are in Thumbs Up

Looks neat.
Any way you could fit a pancake style air filter to that Edelbrock carburettor with a cold-air feed?
At low speed feeding the engine hot air from the radiator exhaust won't help power or cooling.

Thanks. I hadn't really considered that - was just after a low profile intake solution to make sure I had enough clearance when the bonnet goes on.

I've seen these filters used on a range of Rover V8 applications, would've thought the Defender engine bay is roomy/draughty enough for it not to be a problem but I want to do an LPG conversion at some point too which will change the setup anyway Thumbs Up Matt.
