TDV6 Defender Challange Truck

So we all want to know HOW MUCH??? This is what LR should have done for the 60th special , put in a tdv6 (or tdv8:twisted:) .
All we need is a conversion kit and a few clumsy disco/pug( also a rumor ford may be fiting the 2.7 tdv6 to the territory!:o) drivers to get access to cheap tdV6 engines and make the defender the way it ought to be!

Bloody fantastic mate :BigThumb: one question have you thought about using the twin turbo set up off the jag and if so why not:cool:

He certainly is one hell of an engineer.

Now thats nice!

Awesome Defender!!!

Didn't Ford sell Land Rover to Tata Motors of India? It should happen but I can't see it.

Love your work!!!

I especially like the galvanised axle casings. Was it much work to tidy up all the mounting faces and bolt holes after galvanising???

outstanding work. :thumbsup:

Yes but the tdv6 was a LR/ pug/ jag joint development job so the rights to use it where split along with the 4.2 v8 petrol(and the transit engine in the defender) used in the rangies/jags.
They should throw away the old ford(explorer) 4l v6 petrol(base disco's) and get something better suited to a 2.5 ton 4x4!

Here is a snap shot of the engine bay as of this week, still loads to do but it now drives :) Hopefully ill have it finished something like for the Peterborough show.

Ive also completed the cage in T45 steel :) , ill post some more pictures soon.
