Necessary Chassis Modifications:
The chassis is a large box section ladder style. It is an excellent piece of
engineering. However, close inspection is required. Being that the
chassis is fully enclosed, it can rust from the inside out. New chassis’s
are available from a number of outfits. The vehicles are modular in their
construction making them relatively easy to modify. The battery tray
structure will have to be removed to allow for the installation of a “V”
type engine. The original motor mounts need to be cut off the frame.
Under the bellhousing, the cross member will require a notch similar to
the military LWB to allow for clearance on the front drive shaft.
On some series I,II,IIA ,it is advisable to remove the web on the second
cross member from the front. The web is on the drivers side (LHD). This
provides clearance for the exhaust to pass over the cross member and
down the inside of the chassis. The third (transmission cross member)
will also need modifying. Depending upon your transmission mounting
method. If mounting from the transfer case using the original studs, you
can retain the cross member. It may need to be moved in the chassis
depending upon engine placement. If using the mounting surface
provided on our adapters a new cross member will need to be fabricated.
The park brake bell crank will also have to be modified to maintain the
correct geometry to operate well. The cross shaft may also need to be
modified due to the height of engine placement. On LWB models, the
cross member behind the transfer case (where the original driveline
passed through) will need to be removed and replaced with a section of
rectangular tubing similar to the removable cross member of a Discovery
or a Range Rover.
