eggsc8 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi all , I am having my Morris C8 Engine rebuilt at this time but the people doing the job have met with a lot of problems such as the cylinders are on max bore and one of the con rods has been converted to take shells , It also needs pistons and valves that need locating . I think if there was another engine out there that would be my best bet, Has anyone got an engine which I believe is a Nuffield or can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful for any help , Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oats and barley Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 This seems to be a common problem, people are even doing temporary conversions using land rover engines with an austin sheerline clutch, i cant think who it is at the moment but i think it was such a good conversion he made some for friends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggsc8 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 Thanks for coming back to me on this oats and barley, That conversion idea sounds good especially as I have a very good defender engine sitting in my shed , I wonder if anyone else knows who was doing these conversions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johann morris Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 All the parts that you require are out there. I have had mine re-lined and bored so pistons and liners are available, the other items, valves, springs, gaskets etc came from either Cox and Turner or John Walker 01159607860. I would try John first, as I know that Cox and Turner source parts from him. Best be sitting down when you price it all up as Its not cheap.
