Yep you got me there, no chance of getting your teeth shakin out with a TD5. You actually need an engine that can spend most of its life running to do that.

Justin

Coming from a diesel hater like me, I would rather a simple mechanically injected diesel than a fancy, refined, costly to repair electonically injected one. The main reason you choose a diesel is that it's simple IMO.

The Td in td5 should spell out 'ticking detonator'

Now that made me laugh, good one Trav.

At the risk of upsetting Darth Torquit, he might point his Range Rover collection in my direction.
Which we don’t need because Cheeky has not lost a drop of green since being hit with Car-Go Seal-Up.

So at the risk of Cheeky's Coolant, here goes.
I would flick anything Jap from the Rover. That includes the Izuzu Rice Burner.

If you are going to all that trouble to rattle your teeth, go the Full Monty!

Cummings 4BTA 3.9L Turbo intercooled oiler
Backed up to a C6
Shunted through a New Process D300
Rattling down to a 35 spline 9” with Detroit No-Slip
Dana 44 with E-Locker does for the front.

Your can screw the Cummings up to over 200 BHP and find enough Torque to climb the Q1
As for the rest, good luck coming close to breaking any of it.
(200 hp from Mr Izuzu --- Him Blow Up)

Sit the body of your choice on top of the whole thing. Looks like a Rover, Has a Rover badge on the front and back, Must be a Rover.


Run for cover………V8’s are best anyway Who Started this Thread ???

Cheeky

Have extra RRC's coming over tomorrow. No brainer which way we'll park them
I'll stick with the Isuzu thanks, Great package.

On another note how is that Buick V8 going. Still leaking

Got to laugh though, on another thread some bloke is crapping on how Isuzu's shake everything to bits.

1-- He's never owned one
2-- He's never driven a turboed version in a coil sprung chassis, but they are experts on the subject regardless.

Cracks me up

I have sent Cheeky to an undisclosed location...

I actually enjoyed the brief drive I had in your Rover, up the Tea Cup Creek, the Torque was Sensational and I loved the Turbo whistle, not quite a V8 roar, but
Ok I am crawling now,


Buick... Hmmm, can you fit a Jag V8 to a Rover, much more British old chap..
(Would that disqualify Cheeky from being called a Land Rover???)

As for the Buick, I have a spare on standby, but so far the Car-Go Seal-Up is holding, seems it is good Poo like Wayne said. Oil Pressure 18 PSI and falling. Point taken.

As for arm chair experts, Don't take life so seriously, Nobody gets out alive.

Kathryn's 4.4 in her D3 is a great Jag motor

I know that I shouldn't be in this part of the forum but this is such a bun fight of a topic I couldn't resist.

If a Landy ceases to be a Land Rover if it has a changed drive line then what is it?

• The Rover V8 is a Buick
• The LT95 gearbox is a DavidBrown
• The LT77 is a Jaguar
• The LT85 is Spanish Santana
• The TF727 is a US Chrysler
• The ZF 4HP22 is German
• The Salisbury is US Dana
• The 4BD1 is Japan Isuzu
• etc. etc.

Do I need to say anything more?

Yeh yeh we get the point.
Dont forget the electrics come from the afterworld where the "Prince of darkness" rules over all.

Ok lets say after it leaves the factory and guys like us get our hands on them.

ps
I thought the LT95 had origins back to the military. Personel carriers or something like that. Probably totally incorrect though.
