One of the guys at work is friends of the owner. He told me it's has no power.
Pretty much he had a blown engine and a BMW mill laying around so...
Oh, and I love the people who say they've never been stuck, they should just say, "I stick to fire roads".

I know this guy from a BMW forum. He has taken it on more than fire roads. Not boulder fields or desert, but more than just gravel roads.
Walter, any chance you would do a test drive? No power compared to what? I can't imagine it being that bad if he is accurate on his 17mpg on the highway(even if he rounded up from 16.1).
if you check micro cat, you'll see they used that engine in the defenders. all the parts can be sourced for a proper conversion.... mounts, rad hoses, etc.
for comparison
m50 engine (2.8l) 190 hp @ 5300 rpm 210 lb/ft @ 3950 rpm
straight six in an FJ80 (iron pig) 150 hp @ 4000 rpm 214 lb/ft @ 3000 rpm
4.0 Rover 190 hp 236 lb/ft

Correcto! When I lived in South Africa I saw 2.8 BMW engine Defenders. They were pretty desirable and on the high end of the model price range. The logic of putting one in a Rangie escapes me, other than the novelty of it. Why replace one leaky, underpowered engine with another? If you're going to the trouble get some value out of it, either in economy or in power.
So somewhat equal power at higher RPMs? Did they only put the 2.8 in 90s? or 110s also? I know they were 5 speed instead of auto.
The early FJ80 was a dog at 155hp, but after '92 (FZJ) it was bumped up to 212 hp (93-97). Night/day difference in the trucks.
So, as far as transmission-mating...

Another question...
Seeing as it was a factory option, has anyone tried tossing an M51 turbodiesel in there?

Because it was already laying around the garage and it was easy. By your logic we should never replace a 4.0 with another 4.0, but it's cheap and easy so that's why it gets done all the time.
I'm going by the information the guy, who claims he helped, told me.
