rite as you may of seen in some of my older posts i cant make up my mind for which engine to use in my next project. all that i no is that i want a autobox.
i dont want to go down the road of the tdi's there just a bit to slugish for my liking. and a v8's a no no because i want it as a daily driver.
so i was thinking, my old mans just bought a p38 diesel and that runs along quite nicely. i think it shares the autobox from the disco 2 but the transfer box runs along the left hand side of the car instead. so i wouldnt be able to use that.
so heres the thought, buy a knackered out rangie and rebuild the engine then find a disco autobox and t box. and if im right in thinking they should all bolt together. then go to ashcrofts and buy there compushift to control the g box.
i know it will be a tight fit in the defender engine bay but i will have a measure up tommorow.
so whats everyone think about that then
