Hello all,
I am new to this site and was sent here by www.eastcoastrover.com.
They told me that you might be able to shed some light on my situation.
I have a 2000 Disco II and I am wanting to to a huge overhaul to the heart of my Rover. I want to swap the engine from the V8 to a Diesel. There is nothing wrong with my engine as it is now. It is just that I want a diesel, and in my rover.
Before I am to go out and buy an expensive engine and tear apart the front of my rover. I want to know what engines there is out in the world. I know that rover makes a diesel for the Defenders, but I am not going to be sold on the first thing. I know that there are many companies that make diesels such as Jeep, Volkswagen, Chevy, Ford, and Dodge. As far as diesels that will FIT and WORK with the design of the Disco. That is where I need help.
-Such as what is the max size (dimensions) of engine that can be fit into the compartment.
-Still allow for stuff such as AC/Power steering
-and really any info that you would need to know to do ANY engine swap for any vehicle.
Thank you any help is good help!
