Hey Landie kakis...
Does anyone out there by chance have a 3.9V8 lying around doing nothing?
I urgently looking for a reasonable 2nd hand piston.
It should be 94mm in bore.
Anyone have any leads or know someone with some spare engine or parts
lying around?
Spending the newyear rebuilding my LEMON engine from the halfcut.
Thanks in advance.

The 3.5 is not the same bore.

Hi BG,

Try asking Khidzie 0193116614. He seems to know his way in this landy
(under)world. Might be lucky.

Good luck. Cheers
