Land Rover V8 Diesel

I'm sure you could fit any car engine into a defender if you had sufficient tuits :)

good point.

when I fitted a V8 to my 110, I had to move the engine mount points forward on the chassis by about 4" - it was originally a 4-cylinder one. I also had to lengthen the rear prop by 2" 'cos of fitting the BW type transfer box.

started from standard gearbox mounts and standard front prop (same on the

110 as on the range rover the engine/box came out of) and that determined what else had to move.

but it wasn't quite as straightforward as I originally thought.
