Range Rover 3.9 EFI in a Defender?
« on: March 28, 2006, 20:10:27 »
Is is possible to replace a N/A 2.5 diesel with a 3.9 EFI range rover engine? Friend of mine is selling hers for £350 so wondering if it was possible? Any other modifications that would need doing? Cheers,
Rob

Yep it is. If you can get auto box too fit that as well.

Expect to get around 13mpg though.

You will need to move the engine mounts about 2" to make it fit

I have a set of engine mounts that you weld to the chassis that I got from QT. I was going to replace my chassis with a 300tdi chassis and needed the v8 mounts, so I got them from QT. Now I am going with a new chassis from Richards Chassis and do not need the mounts. I think I paid £25 shipped you can have them for £20 shipped.
