I have a 96 defender 90 with an 85 2.2 petrol engine.What engine/gearbox combination would go in to boost my fun without having to do much chopping.Think big !!!!!! Anybody have anything to sell ???
 
A v8 sounds good but i am told a fair bit of cutting and welding is involved.The original diesel engine was stolen and the last owner put the petrol engine in.

depends on how ya look at it. I tend to never make my decisions based on cost, coz ya always end up getting wot ya didn't want. i decide on wot i want, then get it at whateva the cost. :p
 
To be honest I always thought the 200tdi was the better engine, or have I just heard to many horror stories about the 300tdi cambelts, heads.
Plus you only ned one wire to run a 200tdi :D
 
think they both pretty good sir ian, 300 has a bit more grunt tho. i would go 4 a TD5, i love em, but they do give trouble. mine is coming up 4 320,000 km and still runs like a dream, but is has not been without trouble. ta me, all depends on how well ya look after it.
