A bit rich Lionel, there are others around if you have time to wait, up to you tho, and if the motor is good and the running gear ok, you could swap n mix, at least with the Rover you won't get body rust!!
Bound to be members on here with the things you need.

I called in at the local wreckers and the SWB MQ was still there. No one had bought it as a whole unit. This meant I was first in.
I now have an air cleaner unit and the pre-cleaner unit. I should have also got the starter motor bolts except I did not expect the vehicle to be still there so I had not brought my tools. I had to borrow some of the wreckers tools to get the air cleaner parts off. Nissan sure as hell did not want them falling off did they! I also grabbed some parts to do with the accelerator mechanism that is mounted to the throat of the inlet manifold. Namely the bits that are not sitting off the side of my inlet manifold!
The 12 volt starter motor arrived in the post from the interstate wrecker today as well. Now I just have the alternator to go.
Postage or freight on the air component stuff would have been massive since they are not the lightest or smallest of items. Plus I got to see what else was hanging off the sides of the inlet manifold and all the bolts, nuts and washers too.
I am a lot further advanced than what I was less than five days ago. Thank you for all your assistance to date especially The Ferret. Rodney, Yendor and Spoonie. Yendor the tip about the voltage being written on the glow plug was a really good one because it let me know what capacity of voltage I was after.
Kind Regards
Lionel

I received a tip today that the gearbox and clutch in my Land Rover Series 3 could be that of a Nissan Cabstar. If my engine is from the Ark it would have been fitted to only a 4 speed gearbox and the conversion to a Cabstar would have made it a 5 speed box.
Can anyone go back a couple of pages and look at the photographs I posted earlier to see if it looks like a Cabstar gearbox to you?
Hi Lionel,
The motor is Nissan SD33NA, the adaptor is Nissan, the clutch....dunno.. the box, well it looks unlike any Nissan box I know of, I am guessing it's a Landrover box of some sort.
Cheers, the ferret
The rear end of the gearbox is a Land Rover Transfer Case. The rest of the main part of the box from the adaptor plate to the transfer case is not a Land Rover one - that would be too simple. I just rang the late owner's son and he says it is a type of Nissan gearbox which came off a cane farm somewhere near Mackay. The engine, adapter and gearbox came down from there and was fitted to a local vehicle, well partly fitted.
I have posted some more photographs of the clutch slave cylinder and of symbol and code number 60212. The last photo is of a bloke's Nissan Cabstar gearbox and it has the number 71129 on it and it was mentioned that this is a Nissan Cabstar code. In both my photograph and the other bloke's photo the top symbol looks the same as in my gearbox - unfortunately my one has a different number ... of course - that would have been just too easy!
Kind Regards
Lionel

Well i woud like to say here that if you take out a shine connect and hit it with a cable fan it should have 24v imprinted on it or the area rover is a 12v program and your losing a beginner engine, set the eng up as a 12v program..
I took the slave cylinder off in the hope that it might have some conclusive identifying marks like a brand symbol or a part number - yeah right! What it did have marked was a surprise 7/8 raised cast on the flat surface near the bleed screw and the inlet pipe.
That got me scratching my head a bit. What an Imperial measurement fitting be doing on a Japanese - well I assumed so manufactured part Metric part???
So I had a hunch. I went to my parts box and pulled the new slave cylinder out that I was going to fit to my stock standard Land Rover Series 3 with a 2.25 litre diesel. I put it next to the slave cylinder I just pulled off the Nissan and bugger me! It is a Land Rover part. It is just fitted on the vehicle with a very heavy steel fabricated bracket fitted to the bell housing.
So a Nissan SD33 NA engine a MF Conv MFC 021 adaptor,
a Land Rover Series clutch slave cylinder
The main gearbox has the remnants of Nissan blue paint on its sides. A symbol of what some people claim is Nissan mark.
finished with a Land Rover transfer case on the end.
I wonder if the Land Rover slave cylinder means that a Land Rover clutch and pressure plate is fitted?
