Chevy 350 with Turbo Hydra TH350 onto LT230 into a Dakar or Range Rover Conversion!

Put your mouse over the picture for a description of each picture

The following pictures show how the small block chevy can be fitted into a Range rover (classic) or in my case a Dakar4x4 (rr based) using an adapter that allows the TH350 to be bolted directly on the LT230 without any modifications.

The TH350 adapter

TH350 to LT230 Adapter - as made by my dad (Mez Porting)

How to mount electric fans on a radiator

They put copper spacers soldered into the core - neat.

Solution to the carb blowback problem

This has been doing my head in since i got i built, it would run fine upto around 2500rpm, but anything above that, it would blow all the petrol back out the carb. I tried everything:timing, mixture, exhaust, lifter pre load,coil, condensor, distrubutor.
Turns out i got the Cam timing wrong. Picture shows how its supposed to be, I timed it against the wrong dot. (click to enlarge)

I timed it against the arrowed one, and its supposed to be against the circled one.
