What kind of cost are we talking for second hand? How easy are they to fit into the RRC (mine is a 1991 Vogue c/w 3.9 efi)? :? Is their anything I need to look out for or to avoid when looking for one.
gtomo2:
Just to open the can of worms a bit more i had a rangy with a mazda 3.0 ltr turbo diesel in it and it went like the stuff off a shovel and it had so much pulling power it was un real. It would do a 4 whell wheel spin from stand still on dry tarmac. and would crawl down any slope in low range no worries.
The Fat Controller:
its down to choice and finances
this is what i fitted
it just fitted in place of the V8,new engine mountings and conversion plate needed to fit to manual gear box.engine came out of a nissan patrol

Personally I think one of the best Diesel Engines on the market is a MAN B&W 58/64 but that’s probably a tad large. The numbers refer to the bore and stroke.
There are countless options if you go non LR, if you stick with LR it can be easier, in fact there used to be a genuine parts conversion kit to 200tdi!
The big bonus of the 200 to 300 it is 100% mechanical; after that all the fast pedal does is tells a microprocessor to tell the engine to go faster. There are lots of plus points to that but mechanical links are easier to play with yourself and easier to retro fit. If you go all the way common fail rail give better MPG, torque, power, basically better everything but 100% computer dependant.
The same theory applies to non LR of course, the biggest question to ask is do you want the electronics? There are advantages both way.
