Thankyou

People have put a lot of different engines into the RRC over the years, incl the Perkins.
IIRC of their 6 cylinder engines the 6354 was popular but a quick google produces this, which is a Perkins 6 cylinder 6247 so as you say 6.2 I wonder if that's what you've got.

Try & find a serial number on the engine & contact a diesel engine specialist (e.g http://perkinsdiesel.co.uk/) or even Perkins themselves.

Most likely a 6.247 as 6.354 was a bit heavy for landrover.

Perkins engine models of this era were coded number of cylinders followed by capacity in cubic inches so 6.354 is 5.8 litres 6.247 is 4.050 litres.

The 247 engine was found in the old dodge 50 series light truck/van and also in mazda pick up for some none uk markets

It wasn't a bad unit in the dodge 50 and quite smooth and hi revving for a perkins
