it has a nissan in it eh, ok so the other owner had modified it, it maybe almost a straight fityeah it is the straight 6. i think i've seen someone else that has a holden, not 100% if its a 186 thou
it has a nissan sd23 in it atm, an that is quite under powered and is smoking real bad. so was thinking it would probably be cheaper to change it
i have done some welding but i aint no pro, but i do know a few people that could do it for me!
not sure if its better to change or not...dont know if it would be better to have diesel and less power or petrol and more power??
here is the 186 im looking at..??

What exactly is an engine ratio???does any one know if you can change the engine to a holden 186 engine
is the ratio the same and how hard is it to change the mounts??
cheers
i dont totally understand how an engine conversion works but was landybuff talking about the engine compression ratio? i know someone who has put a ED33 (nissan 4 pot) into a landrover series, and they didnt get something right...(i think it was adapter plate for gear box, but correct me if this doesnt add up)....so in first gear, low range, it would idle up his very steep driveway, which i would have thought was due to the 3.3 four pot having far more engine compression than the previous engine!! but any knowledge/corrections that can be passed down on the subject would be great!!What exactly is an engine ratio???
just more power, if you put a more powerful engine in it will idle up an hilli dont totally understand how an engine conversion works but was landybuff talking about the engine compression ratio? i know someone who has put a ED33 (nissan 4 pot) into a landrover series, and they didnt get something right...(i think it was adapter plate for gear box, but correct me if this doesnt add up)....so in first gear, low range, it would idle up his very steep driveway, which i would have thought was due to the 3.3 four pot having far more engine compression than the previous engine!! but any knowledge/corrections that can be passed down on the subject would be great!!

ratio? in what way
is it though? - i have got that same engine in mine, ED33 is an old bus engine (nissan civilian), but it doesnt idle anywhere, sure its got loads of power...and just thinking a bit more about it, the ratio 3:54 comes to mind, where is this from?cause im pretty sure that this is what i have, hence it doesnt idle up steep driveways, but this other guy had the wrong ratio - it needed to be 3:54 (might be 3:5:4??)just more power, if you put a more powerful engine in it will idle up an hill
3.54:1 diff ratio is from the early range rover, standard land rover series 2,2a and 3 models had a 4.75:1 ratio.is it though? - i have got that same engine in mine, ED33 is an old bus engine (nissan civilian), but it doesnt idle anywhere, sure its got loads of power...and just thinking a bit more about it, the ratio 3:54 comes to mind, where is this from?cause im pretty sure that this is what i have, hence it doesnt idle up steep driveways, but this other guy had the wrong ratio - it needed to be 3:54 (might be 3:5:4??)
