Thread: Would YOU do it??

I’d buy a Toyota if they all sounded like that.

I wouldn't do it, but it's a better choice than an LS anchor.

Only because Honda doesn't make a V8...

What I don't understand here is; why the toyota lump? Of all the things deemed unreliable on a land rover, the engines (at least the older ones) are not the most unreliable parts on the vehicle, right? My rover V8 has proven to be damn reliable and powerful...


Cheers,

I agree, the older Chev engines, being all cast iron, are way more superior as anchors than those new fangled plug and play LS alloy motors that are only good for big smiles on owner's faces.

My 79 Series sound even better

Hmmm. Not with that engine, no.

Still pushrod valve actuation, so last century, I'll take the superior Toyota/ Lexus offering thanks.
