2.5 land rover diesel:will it go into a series 3?
landykins:
where are the engines now and are they turbo or N/A?
also, what were the engines out of (90/110 year of manufacture etc)
last but not least how much do you want for one of them :lol:
dew1911:
Wouldn't the 2.5 Be bad news for the Series G/Box? Sorry if I'm talking out of my Rectum but I'm sure I heard that the extra torque can fair eat them.
josh 109:
they are both turbo diesles also forgot to say both heads have been skimed :lol:

Series transmissions can take up to the 2.5 TD (and therefore 2.5 N/A easily) and still be within the manufacteres specified limits, because the 2.5 TD gives about the same power and torque approx as the 2.6 6-cylinder petrol does.
Miniman:
I went down a different road to upgrade my ratio and bought some 90 diffs which go straight into series axels. I was told that it was not a good thing to do as I have a 2.25 diesel and they thought it would be to much for the engine but its not. Its fine and after about 30mins on a flat open road I can get 85mph.....Only thing is you cant keep the landy in a straight line at that speed. I can stay in 4th gear and slow down to 30mph and then speed up any lower like 25mph and it struggels...may be alot cheeper to get diffs as overdrives are expensive. Shame you are not near me as you could have had a go in it. Fuel consumption is alot better aswell because the engine does not have to screem at 55 to 60mph...best thing I ever did. Everyone who has been in convoy with me all say its fast for a series. Ask Jim willy or Banditman they well impressed.
