I wanted to know if is was possible to transfer an engine from a P38 Range Rover 4.0 to a Discovery II. I understand they are both 4.0 liters and have a similar build. I have an opportunity to buy a Discovery II with a bad engine and have an extra complete 4.0 Range engine I''m not using in my current P38. It has complete ECU, Harness, etc. I wanted to pick your brains regarding this, What do you guys know about this possibility?
