Snagger Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Bloody hell! Those engine prices are insane! Given that, I’d find a good Discovery II’s V8 and source the bits to mate it to the LT77, or if I was likely to do much city driving, swap the engine and transmission complete (maybe a transfer gearing rather than the 1.22). That’d go really nicely and would keep the all-LR theme too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daan Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Hi Reggie, nice landy and welcome to the forum. Going back to the original question, and looking at these prices I'd get a Turners re manufactured defender 200 TDI engine send over. Any local garage can fit it, you only need a matching TDI radiator pack and exhaust to make it fit, a pure nut and bolt conversion. A newer gearbox (LT77S, rather than the LT77 you have now) with a 1.4 transfer box would make it more use able, but it is not strictly necessary. I don't know about your local workshops, but by making the job easy to begin with, any back street garage can do the work. Regards, Daan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
