Mine is a 93 Disco and the original motor was a 3.5L and the previous 93 Disco was also a 3.5L, the 3.9's had 3.9 cast into the top of the plenum chamber, the 3.5's had no numbers just lines, Regards Frank.

Not so - the 3.9 only came out in the last quarter of 93 as the 94MY.

Just put a 3.9 in anyway. It does not matter what it has or had if its not worth keeping. Its a good chance for an upgrade.

Did you see in the engine section of Markets Clive22 has a 3.5 for free. It might get you going for the time being. I think it came out of a 1985 Fender, I don' know the compatablity though.

No i am going to find a complete running efi motor second hand and just rebuild it myself

If i could find a bigger than 3.5 complete setup to rebuild and bolt in i would do that

The prices i have been quoted from some places make me think that they are on Crack or something

I'd suggest dropping in a new 4.6 bottom end :cool:

yep that would be nice

i just dont know enough to do that
Does it just bolt in replace the one thats there

Check out this site. It explains everything you need to do.

Tuning the Rover V8

We replaced the 3.9, rad and other replacables under the bonnet last year. All up including labour cost $6000.
