Thread: Which repowering option

think it depends what you use it for, if its a weekend warrior then think about the 4.6, if its a bit more daily driver or tourer then I would think about going diesel, I have a 2.8 in mine and use it every day for everthing, and with no computers its something I can't see myself replacing any time soon.

It may be worth concidering getting another, healthier disco 1 and putting all your mods onto it, then sell the old one, best of both worlds then!

Plenty have had a 4.6 dropped into them. It's an easy upgrade. Turners can supply a Ductile flange liner block long motor with stage 1 heads and a Kent high torque cam already fitted.

There was the suggestion to upgrade to D2, why not re power it with d2 power.
At least it'll do more than 20 liters/100 :-D

Thanks for all the opinions guys

Whatever we do, he wants to keep the manual trans
Finallyrangie; did you do the conversion or was it done when you purchased th vehicle?

Leaning towards 4.6 / LS1; he's a big kid at heart. I tend to think both would return better fuel economy than the 3.9

But the 2.8 would only increase it's versatility...
