Because this is the swap. This is what Rover's need.

I'll stick with my 300tdi Defender

That ecoboost would drive circles around the tdi all the while getting better mpg on a lower cost fuel.

I like my vehicle whole and original. Don't need ecoboost and I have zero worries on "paying less" for fuel.

Fuel economy concerns always crack me up.

Probably because I drove a 10 mpg K-5 Blazer with a 350 V8 in college so anything is better than that. As a result, I don't really care if my vehicle gets 13 mpg, or 30 mpg. I just want it to perform when I need it to.

And US fuel prices are pretty cheap anyway - except for California but that's mostly self inflicted.

In May, I took a vacation trip to Germany and Saudi Arabia where I paid about $10/gal and $2.20/gal respectively.

I learned to not buy my fuel in Germany at the service station on the Autobahn (it was about $2/gal cheaper in town).

Its not "fuel economy concerns". Its because this is a viable drop-in setup for Rovers that is faster, lighter, more torque, WAAAY quieter, and yes, gets much better mpg's.

I'm glad you're happy. Some of us would like to get a cheap Rover with a blown V8 and stick something else in there.

Cool! Enjoy the Disco!
