Land Rover Lump

[Rogue Wave]

Hi I have a Land Rover which has a standard Land Rover 2.25 diesel
and I would like to swap out the Land Rover engine for a trooper 2.8 lump.

has anybody got any experience of converting a Land Rover in this way

Rogue, Can't help with the transplant, but can say have had the 2.8 lump, Built like a Brick outhouse, bullet proof with loads of low down "GRUNT" fab motor. Good luck with the Transplant.

PS vauxhall proved cheaper for bits, twas used in the Frontera.

Thanks Brian. i had trooper in fact still got it and i love the engine unfortunately the rest of it disolved on the slipway. I've got qute a cool Landie (c reg) but it's a built gutless.

So if it can happen I'd be happy. IT was nice to see some Landie ads down the bottom for a wee while also!

I think the first step would be to uproot the current engine!

[Rogue Wave]

You need to speak to these people first.

They do the adaptors etc.
Excelent kits. I used one in my 2a - V8 conversion.

I believe a favoured engine to pop in the Landie is the Daihatsu Fourtrak 2.8TD.
