3.8 Holden V6 in series 3

[Bayou]

I know older Holden straight sixes work well in landies. I was wondering if it would be possible/practical/sane to drop a 3.8 V6 in there. I figure it should still be lighter than a 3.5 v8....

Ideally I'd like to mate it up to defender gearbox & diffs - but only after the originals break!

Appreciate your thoughts.

There was a 3.8v6 in a Series Land Rover in Hamilton a while ago for sale, so it's possible (anythings possible/practical/sane)
You'll have to use adators tho from a good trans to transfer case, cause V6 is different to straight six.
Rover V8 is still lighter than earlier Holden V6

go the 3.9 rover all alloy light as, good power and a good simple engine and heaps around..........shell go well in a landie with a zf trans and fine spline diffs
