  1. I will whip them off the disco chassis tonight and I was thinking of keeping LT77 and maybe converting to 5 speed with the ashcroft conversion as it would be cheaper than getting an OD
  2. Thanks i will do the 6 is long gone and someone has fitted a 2 1/4 so the bellhousing is there its just if the engine mounts will need changed.
  3. I might consider it as the person who I got the Disco from has a P38 their wanting to get rid of, as mines was originally a straight 6 and the engine is further back I might get away with it.
  4. To be honest i would love to put her back to original spec which was 2.6 straight 6 but as you know these engines are quite hard to get hold of, it has a 2 1/4 fitted just now so there not the greatest for economy or power the disco I have bought only cost £200 but the engine will need a strip down and rebuild and the turbo reconditioned. I know noise will be an issue but we can live with that we had a tranny engine in our last series and no sound deadening we just learned to shout a bit louder.
  5. Our first Series was a S3 6 cylinder and the big end went but I managed to replace it with a 2.6 from a rover with the Westlake head now that was fun to drive and thirsty, this project is on hold so I can finish restoring our Talbot motorhome, i have been ordered to by the boss before I start the Landy but I am itching to get going, my son is considering a 72 S3 LWB pickup with truck cab so there maybe another project coming my way.
  6. Hi i have had a look on the site and its quite in depth, the turbo is staying, not sure about PAS. I have saved the intercooler so I could part ex it , my son wanted a V8 as he is hoping when we get round to doing it that it will end up with him as he part owns it, I like the TD5 I had a disco and it ran like a dream but the 200Tdi will do me for now, maybe in the future.
  7. Hi and thanks for the input, the safari has been converted to a 4 pot god knows when, I have checked out a couple of things online but they have always been conversions of 4 pot land rovers not any with the 6 chassis and bulkhead.
  8. Hi I am looking for a bit of advice, I have no doubt the topic has been covered plenty of times, but here goes I have a 1969 LWB Safari project vehicle that was originally a 6 pot but that now has a 2.25 fitted this was probably done in the past as the engine has given up the ghost, last week I managed to get my hands on a 1991 Disco, well what remained of it as most of it fell to bits on the way home. Now I am not new to this game as well I have lost count the amount of Land rovers that i have had mainly series and I have done a few engine swaps including fitting a transit engine in my last series again this was originally a 6 pot, what I am looking for has anyone done this conversion as the engine space is a lot larger and what should I look out for, what needs to be modified to get this in. I am hoping to start this project once I have finished restoring my motorhome so its going to be a few months away yet.
