G'day PJFH,

Perhaps these blokes could help you out since they would have more local knowledge of what is available in the USA - Land Rover club United States of America (US)

Kind Regards

I have tried these guys and I have gotten no answer. Have you ever seen, or heard of putting a perkins 4.108 into a land rover?

Maybe try one of the UK Land Rover forums.

Old Perkins Engines?
diesel options

I had a 4-108 in a yacht once. It is pretty small. The 2 1/4 Land Rover diesel is better.
The Perkins 4 182 is/was a common conversion here and in the UK. Kits are available. The engines are made by Mazda and came here in the E or T 3000. I think its called HA or something. Forgotton now but I put one in a Range Rover and liked it even though it was not a powerhouse either.
