It's a shame they are demonising diesel as this would make a cracking engine swap into a Defender. Sounds a corker. 1951 80" S1 2.0 1995 110 300TDI 1995 90 300TDI |

Or there is Ford's replacement for the Puma unit.
https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/f...--mor.html Would probably be an easier lump to marry up with the existing Puma mountings and bell housing. It replaced the Puma engine in the Transit, so i would think it was designed to be able to marry up with the existing transit bits and fit where a Puma engine once did. |

Interesting the both - especially the new Ford Diesel - thanks for sharing.

Engine performance and capacity have been inversely proportional for years, when you think a 2ltr Petrol Sierra used to be about 90bhp. You can easily get that from a 1.4 Diesel engine these days.
It's not just horse power though, but economy too. You could squeeze 25mpg out of a 4.4 BMW V8 powered L322, but a 3.5ltr Range Rover classic you'd be lucky to squeeze 15 out of them! I expect the new Defender will undoubtedly use the Ingenium. They also do a petrol version of the Ingenium. If you think about it, imagine going up to a Diesel Series 1 driver in the 1950s and telling him/her that in 2007 you'll be able to buy the latest Series Land Rover with a 2.4 diesel engine so powerful the car has to be limited to 90mph to stop the tyres falling apart and it still manages 30mpg.... they'd have burst into fits of laughter! |
