What is this engine?

I was reading an old copy of LRO at work and thay had reader tech question about one of these engines in a RRC and the anal retentive nerd at LRO was like: " I couldnt possibly comment, one of these engines is far to powerfull to have in a landrover" etc etc

I want one! sounds good so any ideas what one is?

the perkins I have seen in in RRC are like 80 bhp 4.236's = mmmmmmgay

More power needed:D
 
got them in some of our trucks...they ok...torquy...but heavy...and big..

no where near enough power for a rangie though..and too low revving..bugger to gearit up...if you want diesel go yankie v8 or jap 6 cylinder (toyota or nissan 4.2's etc)

what about your bmw petrol v8 option then??
 
Ages ago I welded up a roll frame for a custom built 101FC camper - it had a brand new Perky Phaser motor.It was OK for the purpose,but still a light truck/industrial/Ag unit really.
The 4.2 6cyl Toybota or Nissan motors would be a better bet really.
 
Thanks Guys!

Zen I was more interested in the spec of the phaser rather than actually fitting it to my car, just seemed a bit ott reaction by the LRO nerd pensioner writing lol

I am a fan of all big engines, someone on here was gonna put an iveco v8 diesel in his landy if I recall? wonder how that went??

I am the biggest fan of the bmw 4.0 v8, as I have a tuned one myself. If I ever lose the rover v8 in any of my RRC's it will be one of those that goes in :D

Nah, a Chev mouse is much more fun - with alot more possibilities in how you do it.
 
13k plus ancilleries shipping from canada , import tax vat and vat on the tax and tax on the vat

modifications , fitting, new box, t box, axels and diffs etc. when I win the lottery and get a few mechaics on staff to help maybe!!

I have thought it through though you see, pipe dreams :D
 
give me the initial 13k then and Ill make a start :D

I am doing my 2 door a bit at a time at the mo, mind you keepin the 4 door on the road can also be classed as that. same as any landy :doh:
 
Nah,its not that dear.A short block can be had in the UK,just look around and dont hurry.The Tranny is not expensive and the standard T box and axles will put up with alot for road use.
Back in 1998 I put a 502" Chev rat into a 110CSW with a TH400 box against a standard Defender T box and it already had RRC axles - not even a Salisbury back end.In the two odd years I was messing around with it I only did one prop uj.Apart from the rat being brand new the rest was done for very little.
 
for a start the gm motors are alot cheaper than the chrysler ones.

also the 572 block is a race quality product is very pricy let alone short or long or full engines.

finally it will chuck out 670bhp to 5000bhp depending on spec, blower and fuel. I dont really think a zf4hp22 or an lt95 will cope even with the lower figure .

Shame, I wish it would! but unless I get the euro millions its on the back burner
 
when I was in canada last year I spent a bit of time with a guy who had 550 hemi funny car motor in a duster. it was blown but only fueled to 1300 bhp as hes used it as a "grocery getter" as he put it. could run 9000 bhp as a strip motor aparently. sounded nice, even wuith the header plugs in and it going all the way through two 6 inch stainless pipes :D
 
Must admit my time has been spent with Bowtie and Ford v8 stuff,so perhaps you could lower your dreams a bit - the rat was around 480bhp/550ftlb,shirley thats enough in a road car ?
 
I am a mopar guy if I go yank

Thats why I got into range rovers, bit more practical in the uk but still a v8 you can hear.

my tuned 350bhp v8 bmw has all the go and the show but no noise , very quiet even at well you know :D
 
ran a chrysler 300c with the new 32 valve 5.7 hemi for a month last year when in canada, I wanted the 6.1 new srt8 hemi but the hire companies said I had the most powerfull one they could do was the 5.7 at 370bhp.

it sounded nice and had great low down torque but anything over a ton and it was gutless and wandered like fook too. yes I did get a ticket too but one in 2000 miles at mostly that speed wasnt bad :D. my much older bmw with nearly 2 litres less was much faster and more stable but didnt sound as nice.
