Just daydreaming here, but anyone know if it's possible to fit a Land Rover Tdi diesel into a P6 to make an economical daily driver?
Land Rover Discos are cheap as chips at the moment as they rot, but the engines are really tough. 200 series bolt to the lt77 gearbox, and 300 bolt to the r380, both of which I understand fit the p6. They look dimensionally similar to the 4 pot, and it's still a Rover product, so should look at home. Obviously engine mounts would need to be made, plus some custom wiring and plumbing.
I'm not about to start taking my car any time soon, but I really like the idea of a 35-40mpg P6 daily driver with improved performance over standard. Worries are it would be massively nose heavy and really agricultural.
Anyone know of any diesel P6 conversions?
