Hi all, I'm new to this site. Let me tell you my dilemma.-
I drove a '83 Rangie to Cape Town last year and turned around and got it as far as Zambia where the 2.5 Transit engine' timing belt snapped and "Killed" the engine. This was fitted to a 4speed LT95 gearbox with an adapter plate.
Now I plan to get it back on the road and do more expedition exploring and am planning to ship a replacement engine to Zambia.
Unfortunately I have a choice-
1. I bought a Nissan 3.5l non turbo engine and auto-box(no transfer box) off ebay and am considering sending this. (was described as out of a ranger rover)
2. I have been offer a very good condition 2.5TurboD engine (I think it is an italian engine) from a Rover 825 and am also considering this.
My questions are:
a. Will the auto box on the nissan engine fit to the transfer box from the LT95?
b.Will the 2.5TurboD fit to the existing LT95 Gearbox?
I hope I've got my dilemma across without too much confusion.
Cheers Richard
