Now that's an interesting point, but if I stick to diesel, as I would, what's the 6 cylinder BMW diesel like, the one that's in a P38?? It doesn't look especially powerfull??

the bmw engine is a good lump, but in std form its under powered.
chipping them is money well spent! more power/torque and more mpg FACT!
i have a 1994 modded 300tdi and a 1999 p38 dse with a spider system chip as you can read in my sig. there both a pleasure to drive now compared to std auto motors..i love the disco but the ranger gets my vote every time, i let swmbo drive the disco

I'm pleased that you are happy with your motor, but to be honest I'll be sticking to diesel - it's what I know

i can tell yu the GMC 6.2 v8 n/a is a **** hot lump,its heavy but it pulls like a train.my mum had one in a rangy 5 door classic.it had a full stainless exhaust system and it went like fuk!it sound better than any petrol v8 iv ever heard,yu dint need 1st gear just pull off in second.and it would beat most things from the lights!i luved it but wen she sold it i couldnt av afforded to insure it or i'd av bought it mi self.

mark1971 · Feb 20, 2009

my mate had the 6.2 in his classic. tbh i thought it was just **** lol not **** hot! and so did he in the end,thats why he sold it and lost a fortune on it and it took him ages to sell it with roody great lump in it! yes it did have loads of torque BUT it cost him a fortune to buy it. then there was all the work to make it fit! IE: custom made exhaust/ heavy duty suspension to cope with the weight of the bloody thing/then he had to have the gearbox modified too. and all for what? it sounded like a double decker bus,drank loads of fuel, and smoked like a chimney...

jimbot90 · Feb 20, 2009

he must av had a fuked engine cos wen thi on song thi smoother than a petrol v8,and thi run clean to,thats if yuv got a gud engine in the first place?

it was a full re-con lump £1,800 out the usual LR mag
he used it for pulling his boat but my classic v8 was more economical than that,prob cos it was 1/2 ton lighter lol and they are not as quiet or smooth as v8 petrol.. so ner ner ner ner ner lol

A good straight six engine is always in better balance than any V-8.

The V-8 is two fours on the same block, and still suffers the balance problems of all 4 cylinder engines.

A straight six is two THREE cylinder units end to end, and is in almost perfect balance static and dynamic right from the start.

I can hardly wait for the arguments .....

Sure, it was smoothness I was saying.

The V-8 is a tremendous puller for obvious reasons - CUBIC INCHES.

its an old v8 diesel so its gunna sound like a bus full stop!

unless you want a towing drag race no need for a huge oil/fuel burner
the 2.5 does exactly the same! not as powerfull but will still pull the max towing weight and get you from a-b cheaper..
