2.9 V6 EFI Jago Sandero
As you can see this Geep has had to work hard for it’s living. It started life in 1992 as a pink 1300 pushrod vehicle with a 4 speed gearbox. In about 1996 I made some major changes and installed a 2.9 EFI V6, 5 speed type 5 gearbox and 5 linked the back end to hold all the torque in check. I did try the 2.9 driving through the standard rear suspension set-up for a few months but it was useless. The front end is pretty much standard Jago except for 187lb springs, vented disks with 4-pot calipers, Goodridge type hoses and rock hard rally bushes.
Various views of 2.9 injected V6 installed where the 1300 used to be
Front vented disks with 4-pot callipers and 187lb springs to hold up the iron lump.
This is the 5-link rear end. 4 radius arms and a panhard rod for lateral location.
Drop bracket looks low but is still higher than the wheel rim, I’ve never bashed it.
The Granada seats came from the same car as the engine, very big and comfy.
This is what happens if the panhard rod mounting breaks, the body moves Laterally on the axle until either the left or right wheel act as an end stop.
The chassis and 4WD engine for this Geep I have been tinkering with for years
