Subject: Re: DB 3L engine and trans
I'm glad to see such enthusiastic support. To start, #24 is a 2 door saloon, or is that sport saloon, not a DHC. I prefer to think of car as being similar to Bentley Continental of that era. I have read the archival info from Aston Service Dorset, that 3L lagonda production started with LB290/24, so does that indicate the earlier cars with similar bodies are 2.6L? MY car did not have a driveline when I purchased it. I have a rebuilt Jag pushrod engine that will fit, if no other correct driveline can be found. Fortunately, the original carbs and intake manifolds were in the car. I have posted pictures on the postwar Lagonda web site
