I just got a Rangie since my disco was totalled by some kids in a stolen vehicle. I got it home and noticed it has a crack in the block. My question is if I try and replace it with a
4.2L LWB from a 94, mine is a 90, will I need a new ECU to control the 4.2L or will my 3.9L ECU control the 4.2L as well?

Hakan:
You should have few if any problems swapping these engines directly, even without changing the ECU. Think of it as replacing a 327 Chevy with a 350.

The differences you may encounter will be minor at worst.

I own an 88 Rangie and a 95 Disco. I see very few substantive differences in these two vehicles' engine compartments.

Peace,
Paul
