Why not fit a newer transit engine?? (2000) they pull very well and quite good on fuel? But wouldn't fit the old one as they are painfully slow.
Anyone fitted a 2.5 diesel ford transit engine in 90/110

Yeah true they seem to be easier to tune aswell just wind the turbo up and you have a fairley quick landy. Buy know a few miles of life off the engine but who really cares?
fitted one a few years back with my mate to his ninety
not hard few bits to sort out throttle cable exhaust bits to make
no probs if you are ok welding a few bits up
wiring is a doddle
But Honestly don't do it the transit is a great engine but totally carp in land rover don't know if its a gearing thing or if the landys a bit heavy for the n/a engine slow is an under statement my mate had his in for a while then swapped for a mazda 3 ltr diesel

Yeah, I'm keeping my eyes peeled on ebay for a Bugatti Veyron engine to come up cheap.

I picked up a veyron engine last week but bit expensive on fuel so we could come to some sort of a deal lol
I heard someone tried one of those engines in a Disco but found it didn't run at all well on pump diesel. Says he might try BioDiesel next.
