This Range Rover is completely mad

[Mike Hill]

Hideous the engine is twice as heavy as the front axle can take and he has put a winch on as well for good measure.is too heavy and that The Gm 6.5 has an alloy block. Just as you reach 55 mph the engine will top out on revs and still only do 12 mpg. I have seen a few of these conversions most are poor drive like a boat and un insurable.

 

Really?

 

That Engine is a Cummins 6 pot.

 

And GM 5.7,6.2 and 6.5's don't have Alloy any things apart from inlet manifolds,Oil cooler and Transmission lines.

I am sure your right I was under the impression the GM engine was alloy thats why they got away with putting it in the RR. We have alot of cummins engines in our generators good engines especially at 1500 rpm but very heavy.
