This is what the engine bay could look like .
I want to strip and paint the PS brackets (someone thought their old diesel suburban wouldn't over heat , if they painted it in blue)
I think i will run a dual power steering set up one for the steering and the other for the winch... that will spool a bit faster
and I can steer while winching...

AND THAT EXTRA WIRE STICKING OUT NEXT TO THE INJECTION PUMP IS USELESS CUT IT OFF, THAT'S FOR TRANS DOWNSHIFT , IT WONT WORK WITH YOUR ZF24. AND THE PASSENGER BACK SIDE OF THE CYLINDER HEAD THERE IS SENSOR WITH 2 WIRES COMING OUT OF IT, REMOVE THAT AND PLUG IT, THAT'S FOR GLOW PLUGS NOT TO TURN ON WHEN THE MOTOR IS WARM,

looks very good sir, dont forget to ad, ( coming soon the only 6 speed manual range rover in the world)
can u start it today? i see u still have black hose on the return line lol, change it to clear one. trust me will save u lots of time,, the only reason those motors will act funny when they run, if they have air in the system, by putting it clear one u can see whats going on.
did u make manual glow plug heated? system

I agree with Eric, you're gonna want a manual glow plug system if you don't have one already -- although cold starts are probably less of an issue in Florida.
Maybe I missed it -- are you only running a single battery?
Also looking forward to the A/C install. So far the Rover 6.2 crowd (all 3 of us) have "intended" to install A/C, but I haven't seen it actually done yet LOL :sombrero:
