    V8 Replacement

    So if I was to put a different, more fuel efficient engine in my Dii, as oposed to the technically flawed inefficient v8 what would it be.

    Right now to sell a v8 rover I'll be looking at a 15k loss so there is scope there.

    Diesels

    LPG

    Engine and tranny transplant?

    lpg is the cheaper option by far and you still have a v8 and cheap running costs if you do big ks it will pay for its self in no time

    ulp $1.35 a ltr
    lpg 44 cents a ltr
    diesel $ 1.42 ltr ouch

    What is the power and torque of your 2.8? Same as a 4.6 V8?

    the 2.8 factory specs are
    Max Power 135 HP @ 3800 RPM
    Max torque 277 lbf ft @ 1400 rpm 8)
    also these figures can easily be turned up in 10 mins with a spanner (no ecu to upgrade 8) )

    still waiting for bloody mecahnic (I know someone will tell him I'm bagging him here, but that's ok I tell him also )
    he is doing the major nuts & bolts install,
    I'm only doing fiddly bits (intercooler, exhaust, throttle cable ect ect) once he's finished (the intercooler is already in and half piped)

    he's been to busy wiyth other peoples jobs
    stop taking your landrovers there, I want him to do mine first

    He's also got my 110 sitting there for over a month, it only needs a few hrs work but he's to busy
    take my advise if you need something done as a quick don't use a freind who is a mechanic

    Did a google

    2.8 97kw/3800 rpm; 355nm/1600 rpm

    4.6 157kw/4750; 358nm/3000 rpm

    Can accept your claims for torque but a standad 2.8 has no where near the power of a standard 4.6.
