Just a few pics to get your heart racing of the TDV6 nine with a 6 speed Auto. It’s the next Defender 110 engine conversion in the workshop..No conversion costing available yet, hopefully available in January 2020. Will keep you posted.

'15 Discovery 4 HSE- The family bus and the kids like it!
'89 RRC- My favorite of the bunch!
Ex '03 Commodore 'S' ute- 450hp of uncracked 5.7lt and 6 speed manual uteness - Still crying that its gone
Ex '06 GLXR Triton- *Gone and forgotten*
Is this the 2.7 or 3.0TDV6?
And everybody is going to ask if it will work for a D2 also.

Slunnie, something for you to ponder. The TDV6 engine swap has already been done in a D1, so let's see what happens with the 6 speed...

Thanks for these! The 2.7's I think are a great conversion but the 3.0 is the one that really grabs me. Same Power/torque as my Audi, the best engine to drive and it hoots along. I like that this has the 6sp auto and LT230. I was under the impression that the ECU side of things were a bit of a barrier with the 3.0, but unlike the 2.7, and so far wasn't aware of anybody that had the 3.0TDV6 working as a transplant. Hopefully this is it. I was really interested in Grinnas 3.2Td5 conversion but it seemed the autos wouldn't work with the LT230 being a DS drop - 3.0TDV6 auto would be miles better!

This is good news, with a impending purchase of a cruiser ute, Ive been thinking about a re power of my 2013 130.. To be honest I can't see the 2.2 lasting for the 600+k that my Tdi has made, and still going..Im on my second motor with my 2.2, would love a 6+ litre GM diesel in my ute, as it is the best work ute available, including the cruiser..
Anyone have any idea what became of the 2.7/2.8 TD5 long stroke build?
Was it reliability or just not a cost effective/performance ratio that it disappeared?
I would've thought a VNT on that, or better still a good compound setup would be really nice.
A couple of Bruce Davis techs said to me they and Bruce thought the TD5 was a much stronger base than the Tdci with better ultimate potential.

I reckon they are right. During the TD5's development it was not run on diesel, but kerosene, to simulate worst fuel scenario in the first few prototypes. After stripping/fixing/strengthening the broken bits, they continued with the rest of the testing on diesel. There were a couple of Land Rover magazine articles I scanned and kept some years ago that went into details.
