Mega squirt V8 with some upgrades
Finally getting around to working on my engine loom. Few extra bits like using Deutsch connectors where I can and amphenol mil spec connectors to easily disconnect loom and remove engine, why am I going to extra hardship. I have access to the parts and I originally planned on building a trayback but changed it back to be road legal and tow trailers. Will take as much photos as I can but this will be a slow build as I have three women in the house and don't have an understanding of land rovers and a mans need to be in his garage.

Sorry not many pictures up as I wanted and details but the house tool over and spent most of my time in there. Have all the wires ran in the engine bay for engine, auto box and transfer box. Next job is to start terminating the ends. Have the injector loom all finished so hopefully won't be much longer for the rest.

Some nice kit there Thumbs Up
(Steinel hot air gun, Daniels crimpers, Tyco HS label printer. Although I find the printer a bit temperamental to get the set up and usually print one at a time because it loses indexing if trying to print a batch)

Hate to tell you this Shane but the rocker covers are already aluminium. Just want a good clean up and a polish. Defender 90XS SW

Just out of interest are you retaining the distributor or are you going for wasted spark ignition? Defender 90XS SW
