Hi Guys

Ok maybe stupid question but i got a 1987 110 with a very dead engine, but i got a cheap good 3.9 v8 with an autobox. How easy would it be to swap the engines and what are the tricky bits.

Thanks in advance for all and any help

quite easy but would require new mounts welding to chassis and would be better with transmission moved forward as lr did with v8s and 300 tdis ,300 tdi floor plates and tunnel ,props etc as exhaust ,rad pipes etc are all std lr parts then ,but can be fitted as is and parts modded
