Thought Id post up my Defender.
Bought it last year as a 200 Tdi County. I also bouht a Range Rover Vogue and swapped the engine over.
when i first got it home:
Luckily enough I had bought the vehicle with a V8 conversion in mind and already had a classic RR vogue 3.9 so I decided to go straight ahead with the conversion with help from a friend who is far better than me at wiring due to me being useless at it.
Range rover after being abused....
V8 with rimmerbros manifolds and y piece.
Biggest problem we had with conversion was the gearbox, the LT77 on the Range rover was different so we fitted the 5th gear selector housing from the defender box onto the v8 LT77 box which allowed us to Use the defender gear linkage assembly.
1990 Range rover box with Defender fifth gear extension and selectors:
We also fitted the defender transfer box and new props.
Also got some 265/75 r16 BFG mud terrains to beef up the look of the 90 and for performance off road of course. No point in having that amount of power with Nankangs is there.

Nothing like a V8 Landy in my view. Looks good too
