Nissan London taxi engine

H....Would anyone know how hard it would be to put a Nissan 2.7 taxi engine into a defender 90!, Ive heard it can be done and is more or less strait swop...Thanks

200 early 300 tdi will cause you less grief as most insurance do not like modified vehicles

Yeah... But im a London cab driver and could get a very good engine from a taxi very cheap and my cab garage would fit it and i would get free services and cheap parts in the future as,ive thought about putting in a 300tdi and ive looked at LPG but these engines take some beating, my cab runs for hours and hours,they really are good engines. As far as the insurance goes , I will look into that, thanks for the advice.

Got one of them Nissan TD27 in my 90, I did not do the conversion myself, but it seems a straightforward job with only an adapter plate to the gearbox, and a corner of the left footwell modified.

I so dislike the engine that I'm going to dump the 200Tdi in my 127" and fit a QD32...

too much hassle...why don't you just buy a Nissan terrano I or II, or a ford maverick, they have the same engines
