The white Disco with the 2.8 in it, Indiana plates. I would love to hear about the build.

I think the 2.8 is around 10k just to start, so a little spendy, but fun outcome anyway.
$9k and change, but it comes with EVERYTHING you need, including fuel system wiring and I think even a electronic gauge pack?
Ive been eyeballing this setup since it came out... Id rather do this swap than the LS... LS swap is $12k out the door.
Except the adapters, right?
it doesnt have a guage pacakge per say, but has a CAN bus so you can intergrate to something and possibly the stock guages. No different than doing a LS swap, but the LS is cheaper (unless your buying a crate motor)
that engine has less power than the 4.0 that is already barely adequate for a Rover. Late model GM V8 hands down, run on regular fuel every autozone in America has parts for it. Those engines LL, LQ, LY, LS etc will go well over 250k if taken care of. I have never understood the infatuation with diesels...
It's low on HP but high on torque, 270 ft lbs or so available up to 3000 rpm. I would have to check the mileage. And watch the video from Fred on the 2.8 page, they run one under water and drive it in a pond that is 14 feet deep. Can't do that with an LS.
i've always wanted to drive in a 14 foot deep pond....
actually never mind...I forgot that boats are a thing.... hahaha
That pond was too small for a boat...
Unless you?re building a truck from scratch I?m not sure a diesel swap is worth it. The low end torque on the trails and fuel economy is great but highway drivability isn?t near what even an RV8 provides.
