Hi everyone,
I've come across a V8 Efi engine that supposedly came out of a Defender, but was there ever such an animal? Thought they were all on carbs, so more likely out of a R/Rover or Disco, perhaps?

The NAS and Japanese spec Defenders had 3.9/4 V8 Efi.
I've got a 3.5 V8 Efi in mine but it's out of a '92 Discovery.
Perhaps either a rarity or a transplant or conversion from carbs to Efi, I did the later on a previous factory carbed 3.5 V8.
