Chris Putt:
One of my pals has a 3.5 V8 sat in his shed if your interested?- Dont think he'll want a lot for it!!

Chris

Budgie:
Thanks for thought Chris but the Rangie had now gone, I got a new engine off Ebay and rebuilt it. This was all about 2 years ago.  ;)

bogie:
V8 r great when they r gud,but when they go wrong bin em! they drink 2much !!!!! Go 4 a 200,they r old school,cheap 2 recon and a 5 year old can understand them. A few simple tweaks is all that is needed!

Range Rover Blues:
You can say the same about a TDi.  My V8 doesn't run away with itself and blow up when the turbo looses an oil seal, my head gasket set costs less than 40 quid, I CAN skim my cylinder heads, they don't cost me £500 to replace....

Need I go on? ANY engine is a liabilty when it goes wrong and in my experience there is little to choose between the two when they are poorly.

DiscoveRay:
And the problem is.....lifting cylinder liner!

Apparently these are cast in the block, there is a mod, bit like an inverted top hat, but it's an expensive job and not guaranteed to last.

Best place for a recon 3.9 anyone? Local if possible.
