1974 Land Rover Series III 88" GM swap

1974 Land Rover Other 88"

Land Rover Series III, west coast truck since new, brought to Maryland this spring. Plan was to use for overlanding/camping, ended up with a Land Cruiser instead.
Engine was changed to a GM iron duke 2.5 sometime in the early 80's, running a 1979 engine with HEI and Weber carb.Swap was done using a Scotty's adapter, this was a popular swap, parts uses cheap and easy to find GM parts and stock Rover transmission
The Good:Rust free except where picturedEquipped with Fairey overdrivePlenty of power for a Series rover, engine runs well and sounds great, can maintain highway speeds5 new 31 x 10.50 15 Michelin LTX AT tires6 15x8 wheels which are extremely heavy dutyDecent stereo- can hear it over the road noiseSound deadening throughoutBunch of spare parts- axles, gaskets, etc
The Bad:Right front fender was cut for access to clutch and brake master cylinders, could easily be covered with a step platePops out of first gear on deceleration, you can hold it inSmall rust areas as pictured. Bulkhead is solid, only surface rust
Overall truck is a great driver, I drove it daily for most of the summer. Tons of fun and lots of attention
