The chevy 250 is a pretty common "old school" cost effective conversion into Defenders.

Yeah, not too bad to drive either.. Even though a 1UZ or 1HDT swap is far superior, but still will never beat a Td5 w/ 10% tune. If you swap to a petrol, mine as well do an automatic trans too, unless its a 2.8i. If you put in auto in a 2.8i defender I think every defender owner would hate you, and Land Rover would repo your truck hahaha

@Lucidless those motors aren't really options out here... swapped Defenders and RRCs here in Merica' tend to have an LS or (very occasionally) a Cummins under the bonnet.
