Thread: A Comprehensive Guide

Sometimes it is just as cheap to buy the entire written off Territory.

Where do I find the pictures and write up??

Thanks Jonesy63 for the link and thanks to Disco_Mikey for the body off bit.

Hi All, Can anyone confirm or deny what is written in wikipedia with regards to the Lion V6 engine? "Furthermore, the Land Rover variant of the Lion V6 includes a deeper, high capacity sump with improved baffles to maintain oil pressure at off-roading extreme angles and multi-layered seals to keep dust, mud and water at bay and different transmission bell housing bolt pattern. "

I knew i'd have to change the sump over from my current engine, what has me worried is the transmission bell housing pattern.
Does anyone know if the territory has different transmission housing patterns? Does the territory have different motors for say their 2wd and all wheel drive versions?
If anyone could shed some light on this for me that would be great as i don't want to buy a territory engine if it's not going to work in the disco.
Thanks in advance
Pete

That quote is comparing the differences between the Landrover 2.7 and the Jaguar2.7.

As far as I am aware the Territory bell housing pattern is the same as the LR one.

Hi i been having a read over this post and it has given me great enthusiasm to continue with my swap. I have an o7 disco 3 that suffered a split plastic water housing. Basically cooked the engine game over. I found a territory 55.000kms stat r/o. I am yet to still get the engine out as im doing body on but only because of a bet saying its impossible. I understand auxiliarys pulleys a/c alternater and sump etc has to be changed.

What has me a little worried before i buy the territory engine is the wiring loom. If i had both motors infront of me id know if it can or cant be done.
How much work or modifications is needed for the territory motor to plug into existing disco wiring loom?
Thanks any insight would be greatly appreciated

Good question re the "wiring loom". I'd also like to know as I'm currently in the planning stage of swapping my disco engine for a territory engine. I was hoping the looms have the same plugs and can be interchangeable??
Don't suppose anyone out there knows of a low kms territory engine, that's reasonably priced, that's for sale???
