Thoughts?

It might also need a rebuild with new cylinder liners, which is rather expensive; this engine has a reputation for slipping liners.

Have a think and a read about running on straight LPG, especially regarding ignition modifications; Megasquirt springs to mind as a highly efficient and tuneable ignition system.

What sort of gearbox do you propose to use? It has to be un-burstable of course, which the Rover one isn't, ExtraEFI.co.uk HOME

It currently has a 5 speed RR classic manual and overdrive ontop of that. No idea how all on this works. Haven't done a search but how hard is it to covert to coils? Also can I fit a defender or county dash? Cheers Matt

Have a read here MS-Megasquirt/Jolt - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum

It took me two days to read about how it all works but those who have done it seem very happy,

Cheers Charlie

Lots of guys use a mega squirt in the pug 505gti be cool to build my own ecu. Cheers Matt

How do we put aircon in it? Can I fit a defender dash?

Defender dash is doable but the unit in the engine bay is huge and rather crap to be honest

Your better to us a hot rod type unit like a Vintage air system thats what I will be doing once I find the right truck

i would be considering a red dot system as the 300tdi type aircon is best described as crap. freezes knees and knuckles before icing up.
