Moron Well-Known Member Nov 10, 2017 #1 I've been offered a new 4.0 V8 thats suitable for a 2002 disco........would this be a gems engine and would it have a short or long nose crankshaft ?

P Pete-B Member Nov 14, 2017 #2 I believe it should be GEMS if it's badged as 4.0 on the plenum chamber and it will be a long nose crank.

P Pete-B Member Nov 14, 2017 #4 Yes you're right it would be Thor. I've just checked and GEMS only ran up to about 1999.
