RedRover I have done the 6.5 in a disco 2 and a 1.9 tdi as well as the om603 and I love the om603 the best at first I hated it but after I had the pump rebuilt with larger elements and added a HX35 turbo it was a whole different animal the only thing I had trouble with was the adapter I ended up...

Well I will have to check into that then I have all of the cad files for everything I made and the most expensive part was the torque converter which I had the stall lowered on but my adapter plate works with a chevy bell housing so you could put a LS in one if you wanted to if anyone that wants...

Any engine that you can get a tach signal from

I am just trying to see if people would buy a kit that would let them put any engine in a D2 and have everything working with no check engine lights. What would you guys pay for it? Also would there be any interest in a complete conversion kit

Did you fix the high idle problem if not you should check the low speed governor I had to adjust mine because of the stall speed of my converter

You use a 180 thermostat for a diesel which has a bypass hole like a traditional chevy ( I mean it was a Buick motor after all)

I forgot to post the video of the Mercedes electric fan I used to cool it the ebay crap that I bought did not even come close to cutting it Here are a couple of pics from the install

Here's an update video I still have a few bugs to work out like the big block Chevy motor mount kit I bought. The bushings that came with it have already split and cause the motor to drop down on the passenger side and the fuel pump which is a factory diesel one is really loud I have been...

You should do the inline chevy thermostat I have 3 D2 that I use for off road rentals and I have done top hat liners arp studs and electric fans off a mark8 I go trail riding in the summer months in Moab where temperatures are over 100 and the temp never gets above 190

what type of A/C compressor are you going to run and how does it fit I really wanted to go that route but didn't think I could make it work

I built what's called 609 axles it starts with a ford nine inch housing with Dana 60 outers. I am currently building a set with Land Rover outers I want to use the DI outers but I don't know if I could get the ABS to work if you have a set of Land Rover axles you can buy the housing for less...

They only weigh 701 lbs and that from GM's manual I think a lot of people confuse these with the 350 diesel

Now that I got the diesel tach sensor talking to the land rover ecu I had to come up with the other sensors that where needed to keep it happy starting with the factory land rover coolant temp sensor I was struggling to find an adapter that went from pipe to metric without having to use two...

Yes I am using the PSOC 5, I am writing the code which has taken me the longest in part because I had to come up with an equation for each signal that is produced by the land rover engine. This allows me to play it threw a DAC which is controlled by the PSOC via inputs from the diesel engine...

I would love to see that when you get it put in the 6.2 I used was a hmmwv motor that had been converted by motor pool to a center mount when I got it but I could not get it to fit because of the height difference
