Hello just joined the forum, I have a Range Rover with a 6.3l Chevy Engine using an MS2 and no doubt once Shaun sees that I am on here he will ruin away :) to say it has been a bit of a nightmare is an understatement :roll:

That's a P38 Rangie isn't it? It must have been fun getting the Chevy motor to integrate properly with the rest of the vehicle electrical systems.

Hi
Vortec heads and a TPI inlet manifold, TPIs are the earlier bolt pattern manifold so yes it would need adapter plates as you have found.
best regards

That engine looks a snug fit! Congratulations on getting it to fit! Friend of mine put a 4 litre V6 in a Mk3 Transit. That was tight too! :D

Overfinch did go bust at one point. I wonder how long after yours it was.

you can hide the lines and the nozzles very neatly on the lower part of that TPI manifold just need to tell the MSQ when you activate it, and maybe fit some bigger injectors :twisted: oops I seem to have started again :oops:
best regards
