up
Besides it's a classic truck with all the original running gear and pulling out the engine only devalues it, currently its appreciating
steadily. The Volvo engine is too long anyway, I have a 5 cylinder in mine and it a very long engine which would mean swapping to a 90 front end which
again reduces it's value even more than an engine swap.
A cheap bolt on turbo and carb swap is by far the best option.

I'd go with the latter, carb., inlet manifold as increased in cr.
ask on LR forums for options or send a mail to
https://www.turnerengineering.co.uk. they know their stuff as far as LR engines go.

OT - a near neighbour has a SWB Landy with a BMW 2.8 straight six and an exhaust coming out of the side of the rear fender at the level of the top of
the rear wheel but half way between the wheel and the back of the car. I must say it sounds brilliant - by far the best sounding Landy I have ever
heard without being loud - and it seems to go like S off a shovel. Just saying!

I won't mention the 'D' word!
But have you considered an engine that runs on heavy oil with compression ignition?
