V8 anyone?

Thanks NERO. If its going to cost me less than a new head its got to be worth looking at.

Don't get to carried away, £400 for the motor, then your gonna need a bellhousing adapter (not sure if there is one for a Ford V8, you may need to find a Ford 4x4 gearbox and T/case), manual gearbox, flywheel, maybe altered propshafts, engine mounts and other sunderies.

Plus if your paying someone to fit it I can't see it costing less than £2-£2.5K in all honestly.

Like tony says, i can't see it being a cheaper option, unless you can do it yourself, but by god it'd be fun. Anyway, here's the advert word for word from landrover world

"FORD V8 4 litre petrol engine (American) £200...

Do the work youself, and it'll only cost you the same amount as you've been quoted to get yours repaired.
