Anyone know if the new Landy/Jag V8 diesel will fit in an old Defender
engine bay?

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

I'm sure you could fit any car engine into a defender if you had
sufficient tuits :)

Back in the 80s when I was an avid reader of "Street Machine" magazine. They
had a standard answer to ANY question

"YES!!  It's just a mater of how much time, effort and money you want to
spend"

good point.

when I fitted a V8 to my 110, I had to move the engine mount points forward
on the chassis by about 4" - it was originally a 4-cylinder one.  I also had
to lengthen the rear prop by 2" 'cos of fitting the BW type transfer box.

started from standard gearbox mounts and standard front prop (same on the
110 as on the range rover the engine/box came out of) and that determined
what else had to move.  

but it wasn't quite as straightforward as I originally thought.
