Replacing my engine...

Have you considered an LS Swap? There is a shop in Ohio doing them. I like the 4.6, but an LS would be sweet.

I didn't really consider that. I can get the long block from Turner in about a week or so, and the Rover specific indie shop I use can get the swap done as soon as the motor arrives. I didn't even consider shipping the Disco out of state. From everything I've read, the Turner motor should cure all the problems with the stock 4.6. The cam and flowed heads should give it a little bit better drivability. My Disco should be pretty well sorted after this. My interior is excellent, including a custom black headliner and new shift / brake boots. Paint and body is great. It's Chawton white with Tundra grey interior....not many like it that I've seen. If it wasn't a keeper before, it sure as hell is now!

Well, Turner long block with Kent cam and gas flowed heads is ordered. Ordered all new hoses, radiator, reservoir with cap, gaskets, water pump, front cover, coils, plugs, wires, motor mounts, sensors, belt, pulleys, tensioner, etc. $1100 in parts to accompany the new engine. Should have a reliable truck back on the road in a few weeks. If I have to do anything other than fluid changes or brakes over the next 60,000 miles, I'll be very surprised. This fiasco with the cracked block has set me back around $10k. I plan on keeping the Disco long term, so I figured I'd do a proper refurb. I'll keep my progress and results updated....

when I started driving my new engine it felt "tight" for lack of a better term. The difference was noticeable to say the least. I have the H180 cams not the gas flowed headers. I regret not getting those, but I had to go with the short block as I just had my heads redecked.
