REDROVER
Explorer
Guys I need some knowledge on some Diesel engines I am not familiar with to be possible candidates for my classic rover,
My classic currently has 245k miles, it’s a California vehicle, not one single spot of rust, still original paint and runs great,
However I know that running great is temporary for those motors at that mileage.
I am planning on putting diesel in there when time comes but I would like to choose the right motor and start getting parts ready,
I have done 6.2 diesel before in my previous classic rover, it run very well it was also super reliable, but definitely Rover didn’t like the weight of that motor.
This time I am looking at 3 diesel options.
Mercedes 300 from 93 and up
Land Rover 300 TDi
Or Volvo diesel.
Anyone has knowledge on those motors?
Motor has to be at least near powerful as the original v8.
Will Land Rover 300 got in there without any major mods?
Tnx for the help.
