I would like to keep the old girl as it looks good in Niagra (gunmetal grey) but I'm not sure about spending money on the 3.9 currently fitted.
I have noticed on the web a place named Marks 4wd Adaptors who seem to specialise in making adaptor kits to fit Holden and Chev V8s, Chev and Buick V6s. Whilst I'm sure these engines are all good I am a die hard Ford fan and as such was wondering if anyone had knowledge of fitting a Ford Windsor or a OHC inline 6 into a Disco. At a guess I would assume the inline 6 is to long to fit in the engine bay which would be a pity as I already have a low mileage one sitting in my garage.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
