What engine is in my series iia?

Chassis number shows it should be a standard petrol 2.25 unit, but it's not and I don't think it looks like any other 2.25 diesel I've seen. Is it a 2.5 n/a unit?



and a great shot of the 6 tone 50 tune siren with led cab controls (no honest - someone put it in there) - oh and the oil cooler pipes connected together without going through a cooler.



More details pic's on my blog.http://www.adrianhollister.co.uk/ar...ell-very-old-1970s-Series-IIA-Land-Rover.html

looks like a 2.5 n/a to me

Ant chance of a bigger picture, especially the fronmt end. I suspect it may be a 2.5 normally aspirated from a Sherpa.
Can you find an engine number on it?

definitely looks like a Sherpa 2.5 N/A engine Ive got one in my series 3.
the air filter gives it away.cheers Stuart 4884

I'll post another pic tomorrow for confirmation. If it's a sherpa unit what are the differences to a standard landy 2.5 n/a unit (are there any)?

Looks like a Sherpa unit to me as well.

As for differences, I believee that the cam belt cover is just a cover and not water/mud proof. IIRC the timing cover are not interchangeable between Sherpa and LR engine..........maybe wrong This conversion was pretty popular late 90s, early 00s before the 200Tdi became cheap.

It also means the cam belt, when you come to order one, is different,
as are a number of other bits.

Main difference is the cam belt cover snd the injector pump which is lower
so you have to modify the right hand engine mounton the chassis.

More to the point, to fit the Sherpa version in a Series you do not need to alter the mount, to fit the 90 version, you do, which is one reason the Sherpa engine was a popular option (apart from there beng more rusty Sherpas in scrap yards!)

Bit more detail here...



Engine number appears to start 14J...



Also there are a lot of wires just hanging around - connected to something at one end and sparking a lot. It's going to be interested to see what the heck someone has done with this poor old thing.

Yup, 14J is a 2.5 Sherpa Engine.

The Land Rover ones are 12J or 19J

Can anyone link me to their pictures of a 2.5 n/a sherpa engine in their series? I just want to get a reference so that I know what they should look like! Thanks.

14J=Sherpa engine, pretty well settles it, I think
