Hi There
I have decided to upgrade my Land Rovers Engine with the new arrival of a 24 foot caravan to go on holiday with. Currently in the Landy there is a 1982 LD28 straight 6 n/a diesel Nisan lump - Fantastic, slow but bomb proof and returns 26 mpg. But I need more umph and like the reliability of the nissan lumps. I have now aquired a Nissan Patrol GR SLX 4.2 straight 6 petrol lump with low milage.
Now that's out of the way - The question!
Engine comes with all bits and bobs bolted to it.... what else do i need? ie: ECU?, will the diesel gearbox be ok that is currently in it? Will the plate be the same (long shot i know!)? - Fly wheel? Anything else?
Any input will be greatly received of this damp and cold winter rebuild!!! (chassis waxoil and repaint also on the cards)
Many thanks
