Hello everybody.
I am considering in start a restoration project to keep me busy in my idle times in Costa Rica (Honduras ex-pat living here for the last 20+ years now). It happens that I am dealing to buy a 1978 series III, SWB hard top, 2.5L, l4 diesel engine which engine number I cant find as being an original LRengine. Engine number on chassis frame matched the one in the title, where declares its a 2.5L diesel engine number E4677xxxx. I suspect it was originally sourced from other maker or maybe swapped aftermarket. Already called current LR local dealer, a couple spare dealers and other folks, but no one seems to be in position to help me out. Also searched some threads in this forum and others and also some other sites in internet (Glencoyne Engineering, ie) with no results.
Could any of you decode this for me? I really need a hand on this so can move forward. Pics are available if needed.
Cheers and thanks in advance!
