VERY good york 2.4 diesel.
salvaged at a transit van club breaking weekend, from a low milage mk2 single week pick up.
i realy dont want to scrap this, must be good to someone with a work horse...
last chance or it will get scrapped.

complete engine, starter, pump etc.
too many other engine for me to keep.

Why not try selling it on eBay ?

tried that twice, not for alot of money either. it did sell once but the guy never showed up, turns out it was a bloke bidding up loads of different diesel engines
to bump up the value of the ones he was trying to sell..
ive even advertised it with an adaptor plate to fit into a series landrover which i have (same as 2.5di which is a common mod to landies)
and the only sniff was for the adaptor on its own...

shame your so far away

I was thinking the same

I have a lock up empty

its free, im not going to deliver it.......

Hmmm, my engine is buggered in the series 3.
What would be involved in swapping engines? Will it mate onto s3 'box easily?
Ooh...is it still available?

yes bud, still got it

its a pretty straight forward job (even easier if the landie is already a diesel)

the o/s chassis engine mount need chopping off and moving about 4" nearer the bulkhead.

landy friction plate goes into transit clutch basket.
bolt adaptor plate to engine, then bolt to gearbox.

you need to also unbolt the engine mounts on the crank case and replace with fabricated mounts (basic bent bits of plate)
plus take 2 slithers of corner off from the foot wells to make room for starter nose one side and exhause manifold flange the other.

i did my conversion to di in a good days work, would never go back to landrover n/a diesel power,

i do have an adaptor kit to suit the york (exactly the same as a di) (adaptor plate, 2x engine mounts) but i would like money for that bit.

oh and a new broze bush spigot bearing for the gearbox input shaft to crank shaft is neeeded

Leave it with me mate, ill look into it and into getting down to you.
How much for the adapter?
Cheers

adaptor plate, and engine mounts £50 bud.
buy them and get an engine free

Really struggling to find a way down to you mate.

Where are you?
