4BD1T in Disco 2

Well the D2 body is significantly longer to start with...

This means in the USA at least it is legal in a D2 built before 02:D
Now as the gmc is just a rebadged Isuzu would it be legal here On any D2 OR defender built before 02?:angel:

Not quite.
They are indirect injection, and I'm pretty sure still just mechanical not electronic. Someone on here was fitting a 4bd2T pump to their 4bd1 a while ago IIRC.

But the chassis is the same length. I spent some time looking of the d2 towbar would fit my rrc. I decided it would, but would stick out far too much.

I'm not sure if the rear body mounts are the same between d1/rrc and d2 chassis. But it's a relatively easy thing to modify.

The euro 3 4he1t has a mechanical injection pump wich has several features controlled by an ECU mainly an 18 second timing advance to control white smoke on start up .An idle increase to suit AC and another imput for when EGR is taking place When I was chasing an engine I was told it was electronic injection and would not run without an ECU which is crap as it does run and run very well :D

I just measured mine up, I have a D1 and a D2 amongst all of the other automotive treasures here.

I didn't measure the chassis length, but the D2 chassis extends about 100mm further rearward of the axle compared to the D1. The D2 bodywork also sits further off the back of the chassis than the D1 also, with the D2 rear bumper having a crumple zone, where the D1 has the chassis almost in the bumper. I'm assuming the D2 towbar would sit 50mm further out if fitted to a D1/RRC.

OFF TOPIC WARNING:angel:

Congrats to Steve G on his latest acquisition.
At 500000km its just run in Steve:D
