This list started when I was researching engines for the 1999
Green Rover engine swap. Since then I've just updated the
page as I come across engines that would be potential donors for
Land Rover transplants. These numbers were taken from multiple
sources and I do not testify to their accuracy. I do think that
they are interesting though. Note power levels should be thought
of as stock average. These
numbers varied from year to year of production and go up with the
addition of goodies.
When considering an engine transplant, weight should be considerd
to be an important factor. It affects how well the suspension
works and how the vehicle handles in off road conditions. Picking
an engine close in weight to the Land Rover 2.25 engine means you
affect the suspension and handing the least.

The short-stroke engine (2625cc) was developed from the 3-litre
as an
improvement (smoothness, also manufacturing cost) over the earlier
2.6.
Rover did try the 3-litre in Land Rovers but found that the high
torque
could cause transmission problems and that the fuel consumption
was higher
than they wanted. So they went for the 2.6.
The original 3-litre and 2.6-litre engines were upgraded with
a water-heated
inlet manifold and other modifications in 1962. These are known
as the
Weslake-head versions because tuning expert Harry Weslake was consulted although
Rover engineers insist that most of the design changes were their
own. All the 3-litre saloons went to the Weslake-head engine because
they
needed the extra performance. The Rover 95 (P4) kept the 100 engine
(give or
take a few tweaks) and the new 110 took on the Weslake-head 2.6.
There were
also very small numbers of 2.6-litre (and even 2.4-litre) versions
of the
Weslake-head engine used in the 3-litre body for overseas markets.
The NADA 109 Station Wagon was the ONLY Land Rover to use the
Weslake-head
2.6 engine. All other six-cylinder models used the earlier (Rover
100)
engine, although improvements were made to this over the years
until
production ended in 1979-80. The Weslake-head engine was fitted
for the US
because Rover North America's head, Bruce McWilliams, insisted
that
Americans wanted the extra performance."
