You’re right. Hizo pesa zinaniwasha… wewe zinakuwashia nini?

patco:

Are you sure that that is a smart move? why do you want to swap the engine? Is the engine problematic?

If it’s for performance reasons for example are you aware that this is modern technology in a mzee? what is the weight of the new engine is it lighter or heavier? That definitely would effect aspects like braking, suspension etc. why not tweak the existing engine first before considering a swap?

And are you ready for the insane costs? When you change an engine what @introvert isn’t telling you is that you’ll probably end up changing everything. Mara the gearbox isn’t compatible. Loss of power. overheating components. Increase in fuel uptake. things start leaking all over the place and the car behaves funny. Axles are not compatible. You might even end up discarding that car.

And then of course you’ve cheated. It’s no longer a range rover classic any more. What if you want to sell it and the buyer is very specific, that he or she wants the car with the exact engine?!

hmmm
