Thread: defender 90 coversion to v8

So to does the gmh 6.0 v8 and HSV are about to release a clubsport duel fuel!!!!! 0-100 in 5 secs and the same $$$ as a corrolla at the bowser!!!
Once this is released you will find it easy to pick up a liquid gas injection set up for a swap engine. The gas injection is SOOO much better than the old method !! No backfires no stink, much more efficient etc.

for the 90 i would probobly stick with the rover v8, the conversion im doing has added to much length to the gearbox etc, i would imagine doing the t700 auto conversion etc would be much the same leaving you little room for a rear tail shaft, besides you probobly wouldnt need all that power in a 90, a 3.9 could be had cheap enough or buy a complete wreck all pull all the bits you need . a 4.6 would be a nice option but only if your willing to fork out big dollars, a wrecked 3.9 disco would be a way cheaper option and come with most everything you would need and give you some parts to sell off later to get some $ back...

i did this conversion (well my mechanic did) not long ago in my 90, went with a stroked rover v8 and ZF auto, easily done and tailshaft lengths, etc aren't an issue like trying to fit a chev or similar, i'd go a stroked rover V8 with aftermarket computer, 4.6 with aftermarket computer or on a budget 3.9 and auto froma disco.

Just make sure you are cahsed up coz there's not much room for LPG tanks on a 90 !!!
