Cummins Diesel Repower Disco II
Good Afternoon,
I am just now starting to explore the idea of building my dream daily driver. I am interested in taking the soon available 4 cylinder Cummins R2.8 and putting it in a 2004 Disco II. Full transparency, this is way past my skill level so I will be relaying on a shop ( not yet determined ). Clearly this project has not started, I am posting looking for feedback I plan to find a very clean 2004 disco II. I am confident I can find one for sub 6K. The crate motor should be around 7k. Can anyone recommend a shop that would do well with a project like this? Location is not that important, I can get the motor and rover basically anywhere in the US. Simply focused on a high quality build. Any advise is appreciated!
Cheers!

The advertised output is about the same as the Rover V8, but in a more usable powerband than our trucks currently have. But you are right that a diesel of that size is capable of producing much more power.

True. Personally I a sub 350ft/lb power plant wouldn't even blip my radar for the effort and money Involved with a conversion. But if you can coax that kind of power out of the Cummins reliably and easily (which I'm confident you could do), then by all means hand me a beer and let's get to it lol.
