    Disco 1 to RRC "Upgrade" Parts

    Hi, I have a 1988 RRC which is my off-roading toy. I have also came into the possession of a 1993 Disco 1 which has less than half the Km's on it.

    I am going to overhaul the 3.9 v8 and fit it into my classic which has about 400,000kms on it and is a wee bit tiered to say the least and also the fine spline axles. But I was wondering are there any other parts off the Disco I should swap over that would be considered an "upgrade". I think I read somewhere that the brake booster is better, is that correct?

    Thanks

    When you swap the 3.9, you will also need the engine wiring loom + 3.9 computer. You may also need O2 sensors in the exhaust which the 88 does not have.

    Aus spec Discos didn't have oxygen sensors. You could probably run the 3.9 on the '88 EFI system but it isn't hard to swap to the later stuff (I have done it to mine).

    A 93 Disco one might still be coarse spline axles too.

    Yeah I'm happy with the engine swap was more thinking of other things like brakes and power steering etc..

    It definitely has 24 spline axles.
