LS3 6.3L is good but perhaps a bit expensive.
But, if you have alook around, I'm sure you could find a nice used 5.7L LS1 which would be just as good, for a fraction of the price,...and ya'd have HEAPS of "Grunt"?

Very thin on the ground in the UK im afraid, the expense of the drive train would be pretty severe too 1993 200 Tdi 90 CSW

Finally fixed the oil leak problems. The 200tdi's boosting at 25psi max. Definitely needs that 1.2 ratio transfer box upgrade now as it's still got a 1.6 in and maxes out rpm wise at about 55mph, and you can't get through the gears fast enough Thumbs Up

1st gear's pretty redundant at this point! Cool

Seriously though on skinny road tyres a 1.6 box with a 200tdi (originally 2.5NA) is laughable.

Got a 1.2 box waiting with new input gear from Ashcroft fitted, awaiting the grungy rust-coloured sludge and worn input shaft when we take off the 1.6 box though Big Cry Does anyone have a Defender R380 with the 200tdi bellhousing (preferably for less than a grand?) Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

Stumpy R380s are pretty hard to come by which is why they command a high price. Best to buy a td5 box and convert it yourself. That's what I have done.

Hi guys thanks again for all the feedback, always ace to see what people think Thumbs Up

Pickles we're going to make a vid comparing mine to Rich's standard tdi at some point with a bit of racing and maybe a dyno run

Any suggestions will be gratefully received, we're trying to make stuff that people want to watch in our spare time really so let us know! Bow down

Cheers guys
