Anyone know the part number for the uprated Land Rover ladder frame and also where can I get one from. Thanks
LCN000140L, I normally keep them in stock but am just out. Any Rover/MG spares dealer should be able to supply them.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is a ladder frame?
Alex
Cheers Dave.
The ladder frame is the section that your sump bolts to, the head bolts fasten to it sandwiching the head onto the engine. The uprated one is much stronger (solid) than the original ones and makes the block stoffer and hopefully more resistant to had gasket failures. It can only be replaced whilst changing head gasket (as far as I am aware)
Errr, unless they’ve significantly changed the design since I last looked at a K engine, the sump does NOT bolt to the ladder frame.

Oops, youre right, I was having a dim moment.
