Re: which landrover shocks fit the 340

Re: Lifting Her Saggy Bum!

G'day! has it been lowered or are you talking about from standard? someone, somewhere, has made a kit to change from leaf springs (naff) to 5-link - it must be possible, therefore, for someone at your end to come up with something similar..

no, there's no revs really, but it SCREAMS on a straight thru pipe at about 5K revs, when you overtake people, and has torQUE in abundance my plan was to supercharge it - perfect for peaking early, and the combination of the torque and forced induction would have been a right belter. i still prefer ...
