I have a 1982 landrover , took it from my grandfather who kept it for 9 years and now its been 6 years its been with me .My dad swapped its engine and placed a 2l-t, its turbo had some sort of leakage problem and secondly it had the heating problem.Then he replaced 2l-t with a 2B .Now the problem is that its a noisy engine and has a poor fuel economy.Secondly it hardly reaches 110 km and even if it does , it feels like its gonna blow up!!, it has a 5 speed manual attached to it.
We take it to kashmir twice in a year with lots of luggage on it and whole family . Now dad is thinking to replace this engine as well
People are advising him to place a 1kz but he fears the 'efi' and it also has a poor fuel economy.We cant put a petrol engine as if we have to cross a river with a petrol engine it might stop in between ! and diesel is more powerful.I love the 1 hd-ft and the 12ht but surely its not suitable for this jeep.So I need suggestions regarding this situation.Which engine do you guys think is good for speeding and offroad as well with good fuel economy .
