Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone can identify this engine for me please.

I have Series 2 1960 Land rover and when we bought it last week at an auction I realised that despite it being listed as a petrol it in fact had a diesel engine in it. It was sold as a non runner but after buying it and a bit of tinkering for 5 minutes I had it started. It's going to be a restoration project which I have already started and is going well. As I have the engine out I have decided to give it a rebuild but am a little perplexed as to what engine it is.
I have posted a picture for you here

The number on the head is HRC 1479
Numbers on the block are:
HRC 1590
15J01294C
14L5
88UE H

I have looked around and the closest I can match it to is one out of a Land Rover Ninety ! The pictures match really well.

If anyone could help as need to order some parts for it.

Also if anyone fancies a giggle, after taking off the tub and looking between the rear axle and the chassis on the O/S I found this

2.5 na sherpa engine differs from lr by front tin cover and position of injector pump

Hi James, Thank you for the reply. I'm going to completely rebuild the engine so any idea what year and what vehicle I should quote for sourcing the relevant parts ie head gasket, piston rings, big end shells etc.
Thank You

use parts for 2.5 na, main bearings are decided by whether you have a turbo feed plugged hole or not ,cam belt needs to be sherpa, id imagine it would need new pistons and a rebore unless recently done,l can help with the numbers if you struggle

Brilliant, thank you once again James I don;t suppose you would know where I could get the N/S/R and O/S/R tub side/wing panels from do you. The small panels either side of the tailgate seem easy but these are proving to be quite illusive.
