    given that the block and crank are rated to nearly 3 times what they are putting out in the rover format.. I dont think it would be too hard to grab a fuel pump off of one of the full blown truck jobbies and let that sit on a rover...


    Dont think the diffs would last long....

    but if someones got an isuzu (preferabley the turbo) pushing an lt95 they dont mind having the nipples worked off I reckon its in with a shot.....

    Isuzu

    We are going to enter ours in the 2008 Malaysian Rainforest Challange. It may not have the horsepower and RPM of the V8's but weve got more torques than you can throw a stick at. I think it will perform well in the above 3000cc diesel class. I can also count on the reliability and the fact it can basically run on any of the diesel mixes we are bound to use.

    fingers crossed

    well now that opens another kettle of fish then...

    I'll take you on with a county or deefer 3.9 suzi but you can only have a rover with a v8 of the same year group.

    (I mean thats only fair I dont get any electronics why should you)


    But I'll allow any "tuning" you can do without replacing any parts AND I'll let you have your selection of Fuel IF I get to have mine else you have to run on the stock fuel that was available at the time. Any work must be doable in a garage with nothing more than a standard mechanics kit.

The combination of high torque available at very low revs, makes it a delight to drive in challenging conditions. Open road touring is much enhanced with a turbo, but perfectly adequate in a NA, and of course, the fuel economy speaks for itself!. Isuzu reliability has been discussed at length in these and other forums, and I'm sure there are not many other 4WD engines with such a robust reputation. 110 County's were fitted standard with a Rover V8, so why would the ADF go through such an expensive project (Perentie) if the V8 was superior in any way to the 4BD1?.
    The only field where a V8 may be useful is in some dry competition events, and then, delivered on a trailer.

    surely by starting this thread you've raised your own insecurities about owning a big clattering diesel
