Just bought a B reg 90 with my uncle (half each) he wants the engine 2.8 isuzu lump + truck top and i get the rest.
But the problem is what do i put in it. I've got a series 2a with a 2.5na and its not enough power for me,so i dont fancy sticking a 2.5na in my new 90,and if my uncle's got this 2.8 in his 90 i want to keep up. I got offered a rr 3.5 v8 with twin su's for £175 how much grief is that?? Or do i go for a 200 tdi,but they go for good money Any one got an idea i don't want to under go a major task here a nice simple ish job would be nice:)
 
You should be able to pick up a decent disco 200tdi for 200 quid ish. Make sure it comes with all the bits ie rad, intercooler, wiring loom etc. You won't be dissapointed.
 
How hard is it to fit a rr v8 into a 90 with lt77 looked on steve parker web site and he doesnt do a kit for it so prehaps not that hard.This motor will be a weekend toy so not that bovvered about fuel cost. Seeing as my mate has a few good rr v8,s kicking around it would be a quick fix for the 175 quid he wants for an engine but having trouble finding info on what in need to be doing or what parts to source.Dont get me wrong would love a 200 tdi but does look like a lot of money

Defender 200tdi can go for silly money, but the disco version can be picked up quite cheaply - complete disco fo 220 pounds in my case. Even if you go down the full conversion kit route (Parkers etc) then you should still have change from £400.
