Landrover 90- new engine time!
« on: 26 May 2012, 11:36 »
well thought i would start a thread for my new toy as it may interest some, was an impulse buy as it came up for sale a few doors down and was pretty cheap.

Landrover 90 2.5 TD

runs and drives great but needs work on the rear crossmember and a small patch in the batter tray.

possible 200tdi conversion may occur at some point


quick snap

My boss has put a 4.6 V8 in his with Edelbroch carb's and manifolds, goes like a rocket and sounds feckin awesome!
These things are so easy to Mod with loads of room for upgrades either under the bonnet or underneath.

I would love a Landy they are super cool :cool:

The 3.5 that came out got about 10/15mpg, the 4.6 gets 15+
He is going to put the EFI on from the Rangey that donated the engine, so should see a few more mpg's :cool:

Along with the rear cross member, probably one or two of the outriggers, the engine before too long and almost inevitably the sh*tty LT77 gearbox.

Will not end well, or cheaply.

Chassis is surprisingly solid. The engines are cheap to fix, don't fancy breaking the box though. Give it a couple if months and it will put jap crap to shame ;)
