antarmike Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Crane is standard to the SV/1T, 1S, of which on;y 43 where produced but the 2V/2S uses the more common crane, similar to the Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6LW as fitted to the Pioneer is not the best engine for an Explorer - 8.4 litres, 100bhp, 1750rpm max compared with 10.3 litres, 180bhp and 2400rpm for the original petrol. The later 6LX 150bhp and 6LXB 180bhp are too long, while the easiest and neatest conversion must be a Leyland 680 or 680 Power Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Isn't the Cummins 220 another good conversion? Several trucks about with them, although good 220s hard to find now. Cummins rule OK :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cummins rule OK :cool2: I second that, the 14 ltr lumps fill the space and look the part, L10 lumps are a real pain to fit but more good ones are around. What ever the choice of engine the oil sump position and size is critical for axle clearance, this one looks like it has a front sump and the front spring has a spacer fitted to get clearance, :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
