crazy things Done to Terrano's

[Dirtydog]

Hey guys, i was helping my brother with his v8 xb falcon and looked at the size of the v8 in it. i had an idea, and ran down to my truck and had a look in the engine bay, and relised that it would be too hard to fit a v8 in one. would just have to find a 4x4 gearbox that would fit.

so thats my crazy idea, so what is some that you guys have thought of?

I'm in the process of fitting a turboed VH45 and Safari (mostly) running gear into a Terrano. The hardest part is the engine bay is short so having to cut out the firewall to fit everything in. The VH is a big motor (quad cams) so that doesn't help but.
I'm also fitting coil overs, hydraulic winch and a few other goodies.

The end result should see about 300rwkw, 1800kgs with 18" travel alround.

AH-HAH!!!!!!....................I'd been wondering what the new plan was!

Yes and is has gotten lighter and more travle than the original plan. I have the suspension working on the computer with 24" travel in the rear. Also have made progress on the winch which may see us with a very fast strong hydraulic winch few only couple K.
But man is the truck long compared to my old one! Only slightly shorter than a LWB GQ but ride hieght is scary low when looking at the amount of travel. It is times like this I hope the computer programme is acurate!
