There are some isuzu engines to look at here too one being a 6BB1 the others I'm waiting to here from but from the pics they don't look like the 3.9 model

The 6BB1 is a very nice smooth engine. But it's far too big to fit without major work. Approx 5.4 litres.

The 4JB1T is nice, but you'll be able to pickup and bolt in several 300tdi's for the same money. The 300tdi will produce similar power and torque as the SD33T, but the direct injection of the 300tdi has stronger pistons, stronger head and far better efficiency.

4BD1T's are the best engine you can easily fit. But they aren't cheap or plentiful. They will also turn most landrover gearboxes inside out. Capable of over 200hp and 700Nm with the stock injection pump.

I woul rather a 200tdi plus lt77 or an 300 plus r380 best I start saving and hope my cam last in the RRC

Just so you all know I'm doing this as my 40 birthday present to myself which is drive the cape and Fraser then back so I really need a diesel and the wife just wants to sell it or maybe I should and just buy a disco again BUT she's a bitch but she still makes me smile (sorry the car not the wife)

adam, the sd33T is worthwhile for sure, uses diesel kiki pump etc like the isuzu, and the rest of the engine is very robust. can be tweaked a bit but not sure how much.....:D:twisted:

the NA engine is a slug:(

After having a 98 300tdi disco would say they do produce similar power and torque but are in no way as reliable as sd33.
My 300tdi even after be serviced every 5000k through a piston out the block at 200 000k where as my sd33 has done somewhere around 600 000k and is still going strong .
