As some of you know, I've got the big Rover P5 3-litre with the straight-six engine - which is a bit ungainly and thirsty.
Now I know that some of the six-pot engines from the Rover P4 would drop straight into a series 1/2/3? Landy, and in turn, the engine from a Massey Ferguson 65 tractor would drop straight in as well.
So I wondered if there was any six-pot diesel of landrover origins (or anything similar!) that would bang straight onto the 3 litre DG autobox, or even the manual overdrive one...
;D
Thoughts?

A Perkins of some sort could probably be persauded in. It'll sound like a tractor and pull about 41.336mph flat out though.
A 2.0 turbo dizzler from a Monteastro might work better but please don't get one to destroy for the engine.

Mmm. Interesting.
LPG is good but expensive, and wouldn't really give any gain in torque over the original engine for towing with.
Perkins could be a good 'avenue' to explore but speed I guess is an issue.
I'm not sure that the monteastro TD would be good to pull 1.5+ ton of Leyland iron...
Just as a thought, what about the transit DI?

My suggestion would be a TD5 engine from a 90 or Discovery. It would need the ECU etc, but it has got the required "go" and it sounds really nice.!!

given a choice between a transit di and a 200 TDi i'd have the 200TDi anyday, turbo transits are hard to find where as rusty discos are 2 a penny.

Nissan RD28T out of a 1987-98 Y60 2.8 Patrol.
6-pot turbodiesel, 2826cc, 130bhp, 200ft/lb of torque.
I had one in my old '82 Range-Rover. EPIC engine. 100mph all day if you wanted, 35mpg if you wafted along at 65-70.
There's already someone who's fitted one into an Austin Westminster (Dollywobbler may know who it is).

If your thinking Perkins, then there's the 4.108 which is a bi lame or the 6.354 which is probably a bit long!
From the BMC stable you have a choice of 2.2, 2.5, 3.4 and 3.8. All 4 cylinder varients that may fit in easy or may not!
Loads of torque from the bigger ones but none exactly screamers !

Why not get something more modern to cannibalise? Like an old Omega, with it's BMW Derived 2.5 Diesel?
Keeping it real to it's future heritage.

Talk to me about the prima then? Was that one fitted to some LDV/Sherpa/Thing vans, or is it something totally different?  |

Yep, that's the fella. Fitted to Montegos and Maestros, some were n/a dizzlers the others (obviously) turbos.
From memory the LDV200s that had them were all n/a versions but even they could shift. Probably fairly to hard to find in the LDV200 as later ones had PSA 1.9 engines instead that were reliable but sluggish.
Possibly worth a blat on the Maestro/Montego owners forum and see if you can score a complete car with beyond-saving bodywork and have a word with the regulars on there about what will be needed to convert.

Think about it... ;D On a more modern note, how about the Land Rover TD5 'Storm' engine: "In Defender specification, the Td5 develops 122 bhp (120 PS, 90 kW) at 4200 rpm, and in the Discovery this is upped to 136 bhp (134 PS, 101 kW) at 4200 rpm by use of a different fuelling map and an electronic wastegate. Along with 300 Nm (221 lb.ft) of torque at 1950 rpm, these relate to a 9% increase in power and 13% more torque than the outgoing 300 Tdi engine. From 2002 the Discovery automatic was uprated to produce 340 Nm (250 lb.ft) of torque at the same engine speed." |
