If you need a two stroke Detroit Diesel tuned or tickled up then Joe is your man.

Any idea what size SU is fitted to the 2.6 motor?

Hello from Brisbane.

The SU conversion is fairly common in the UK. You can get the adaptors ready made from HNJ Engineering as one source:

HNJ Engineering - Series Land Rover Parts - Land Rover Series SU Carburettor Adaptor Kit

I haven’t used one, but the quality of their stuff that I have used is very good.

Cheers,
