More hourse power = more broken parts, look into a TD5,or TD3 diesel,I dont beleive theres a computer to mess w. I belive they sell them over seas w this motor, not sure but they may meet up to the tranz, and all u may have to do is change out your motor mounts.its not uncommon to get 300,000.00 miles out of these motors, and the tork is great.Just food for thought.

FYI, the Rover engine is a popular powerplant in many vehicles. check out the following link:

Hey everyone,
Ive been browsing this forum alot and im also trying to part out one of my Land Rovers. This is a great community for our trucks and all of you seem very respectful/nice.
Anyways, this is my first land rover and I cleared out a spot in my garage tonight and Im now working on a final decision on what to do. Firstly, I want to swap a 350 into it. 350's in my area are like candy. My questions are on the adapters that are already available for the D1's (forget the company) if they will work on my D2. Im looking for a little more power with the crappy gas mileage we already get, and yes I know, Its not going to turn into a 10 second drag car. I do a decent bit of towing.
Second option of coarse is a rebuild on this crap 4.0 that we have all been gifted with. I have no idea what it would cost for that yet. If I do rebuild, everything will be new. As I said, this is my first land rover. I know hardly anything about them. Im from a Honda background. I would have a Boosted H22 in it already if it was possible.
Anyways, any tips would be great. Ive used the search function too look for some things but I also have no idea what the hell to search for. I could not find anything on a 350 in a D2, Only in a D1.
Thanks,
-Kevin
