Am I still allowed on here?

It may well have a 410 lump in already, they came with a 4speed box too.

Its your truck and i wouldn't criticise you for your plans but i personally i wouldn't touch a thing other than put some muds on it, especially if its the original colour. The rest would be just make good and restore, nothing concourse just keep it tidy so you're not afraid to get it in the mud.

Looks a loverly little truck. I do like the older models.
Nice colour on the Mustang too. I did look to swap my TVR for a Roush Stage 1 Mustang but the waiting list on imports was too long

The Q just denotes that you have a soft top LJ.
It's the same with all rag top suzies QJx or QJLx for vitara's.

Come on lets see it like this.

Hehehe, i'd love to ..............but it sooooooooo pretty as it is


Got underneath it today with my brother and his pal, they are both really hot on Landies and they couldn't believe how good the condition is, huge relief for me

I had a look at the engine (i know absolutely zippo) and I saw the markings: F10A

I checked this out on the 'tinterweb' and it seems this engine appeared in 1982, my little LJ80 is 1981, if i'm correct it seems that the F10A was installed in the SJ410?..............if this is correct would the SJ413 5 speed box bolt straight on? It desperately needs a 5th gear and about another 10-15 MPH.

When you have a proper look around it, it seems to be a design hybrid of a Landrover Defender and a Willy's Jeep, it really is a thing of beauty

Good man just kidding keep it like it is.
Had a SJ410 top speed about 65to70 MPH

iirc santana's were 5speed, but i couldn't tell you if they mate up to the jap 410's

I had 85ish out of my 410..............once.......................downhill

I only had a 4 speed

Same here, may have contributed to the headgasket letting go a few weeks later!
