LD28 vs TD27t

[Kolatogari]

OK, I'we been thinking this over N over again. I have 2 engines that I could put in my old Range Rover. one is an LD28(non turbo) out of other rangie, end a TD27t turbo out of Terrano2. The TD27t is lighter and has more power, but I always liked the old LD28, slow N stedy. what do you think?

Always get quizzed on why I put an LD28 into a land rover 110. Answer invariably starts with "I can fix it, if it breaks", followed by a phrase along the lines of "it hardly ever does", and ends with "I like the simplicity and steadiness of the engine".

I think you may have answered your own questin... "...but I always liked the old LD28".

Good luck with what ever way you go...

Yeah, but they are plenty of old laurel Taxi's lying around.. so. En the dealer servise is ok.
I'll think I try the TD27, if I don't like it,. i can always put the LD28 in...

Kolatogari, really... I cant believe you would even consider the LD since it guzzles fuel like a big block Chevy and breaks crankshafts so often...


LOL... Sorry to the others here but this is sort of an inside joke between us. Like I said before I think you should go with the LD. The comments listed above were the reason I decided to give the LD a try on my re-power conversion project...

In case others would like to see what I was talking about it's here...
