Engine upgrade

Post by ARangie »

I have a slightly worn 3.5 carby with a 3 speed auto.

What is a good upgrade that gives good driveabilty without too much power.

I'm told that if I go say 4.0ltr and 4speed zf with the transfer case to suit the ZF, this would be a good converstion without straining the rest of the drive line.

Or should I find a TD5 and auto setup...

I have a TD5 disco as my town car, but being a 02 model, I'd rather mod up the 85 rangie for bush, besides, it has the sus and body lift done, air systems, bash plates diff guards, sill rails all done.

Oh and I want to do it on the cheap cause I want to fit a ARB locker and disco axles, until I can afford maxidrive axles.

TD5 would be good, good power when chipped and intercooler done and great economy.
Gheto_Modz on here is selling toy converted diffs for sale with Jacmac axles for a grand, bargain and all the hard works done. If i hadn't done mine already i would have bought these.

Can't find the thread?

Is there just one set or has he got a production line happing.

I was thinking if I go a better donk, say 4.4 or around that the the 3 speed could stay, cause it would have the power to run the torque flight.
