A diesel (not VM) classic would be my Land Rover of choice.
My rrc ownership goes back to the mid to late 70's (showing my age ) and the only downside IMHO is lack of a good diesel.
I have fitted a 300Tdi, but they lack the performance I wanted. A chipped TD5 might be ok, but I never knew enough about them, and did not see any around at the time I put the 300Tdi in. Nor could I find much about the BMW 6 cylinder diesel that Land Rover fitted into rangies.
I gave some thought to chevy 6.5 v8 diesels until I concluded it was a bad idea.
A duramax would be a good candidate now that they can be found for reasonable money - and they are easy to tune up, but the transmission might create some problems with 100" wheelbase.
