Any Engine

[squire]

This going to sound a bit bizzare but will any engine fit in the T25, for instance a 2 litre Turbo Diesel from a Rover 620...? i drive one of these on a regular basis and the economy is superb and it still pulls like a train. Someone has told me its possible but the lad is a known feeder in our area. So i thought i'd ask the man that can

Just about anything is possible, it all depends how much you "want it" People stick with VW generally because it`s just a nuts and bolts swap, rather than a new bell-housing adapter plate, clutch issues, wiring, exhaust, turbo angles and returns, engine mounts, starter motors, etc etc.

Other notable conversions with parts ready made for you are Subaru flat 4 engines (and maybe the flat 6 with some work) and also Ford engines have been done.

I can`t see any advantage of a Rover diesel engine over the easy fit of a modern 110 / 130 bhp VW TDi electronic control diesel, where everything has been done before, so is available from various sources, IF your pockets are deep enough

The volkswagen engine would be a better engine anyway to be honest so youd be better going down that route.
