Anyone got any ideas wots required to shoehorn the rover V8 lump into a Freebie. I realise it aint tranverse and will need lots of work - but actually wot work wd be required?

easiest of all, part exchange the vehicle with a second hand Freelander TD4.
It's not a very fun way of doing it, but it will save a fortune in time and money!

But surely this ain't the ideal engine to start messing with.I have a freelander with a supposedly modified block (It stops the liners slipping and therefore cures the head gasket problem.......wouldn't bank on it though) but I still would not chance any mods.Still,maybe someone knows something that I don't......flyboy2Blippie said:There's still a lot of scope for development of the Freelander without resorting to an engine and transmission swap or rebuilding it as a mule.
Just look at www.reads4x4.com to see what can be done with a 1.8-engined Freelander. With chipping, tuning, intercooler, exhaust, etc, etc modifications as appropriate, you can totally change the characteristics of the vehicle without resorting to wholescale chopping and changing.
