...Thanks Ed!
A friend had a early 60's Land Rover that we were re-building, one of the cylinder head bolts was hollow and doubled as an oil passage, it could not be torqued properly as the oil passage hole in it had to align with the passages in the block, brilliant I'd say....= )
To make matters worse we lost the dang bolt and had to wait 6 weeks to receive a replacement from Rovers distribution warehouse, located then in Pocatella, ID...you have to keep a stiff upper lip at all times...
The best part of this is, my brother-in-law is a Limey, and I have such great fun at his expense....hmmm I wonder why he does come over here from England very often....= )

I love the English styling of the vehicle bodies, just wish that sheet metal was on a different chassis!

Quite a few Dodges over the years have the 126" wheel base, so if you go the body swap route, take your tape measure and be sure that things such as motor to firewall, cab to axle, and other critical points are taken into consideration.
