    Default land rover diesel engine

    I just re-powered my sail boat, removing the 55 hp thorneycroft diesel and replacing it with an 80 hp John Deere. More power, better upwind ability as it were. So maybe someone in the states has one of those rare birds, a US land rover diesel that they want parts for, or what. Thorneycroft marinated this one in 1993 and it since received near 4,000 hours of boat time. But at some point recently it had a rebuild, since it shows hone marks in the cylinders and no ridge. There are some parts with it, new injector lines, filters, gasket set, etc. It comes with a 'new age' 2:1 marine transmission/reduction gear. I'd like to get $500 for it.
