Hi,I am looking for ideas for an interesting diesel engine to drop
into a land rover. Maybe the new generation of one of the v6's, is'nt there an aluminium one about. Any suggestions please or maybe someone has done it already. Thanks Smokeyone |

Japanees quality might more durable then most of the Italian diesels made for Land rover in the last decade. Erik-Jan. |

It is just an Isuzu 4BD1 3.9l direct injection diesel, I had one of them and it was a great motor, loads of torque. If I could I would get the turboed version. JR |
