I am hoping to buy a 110 in the next year or so, probably a right hand drive 83-84 import. Do all the 90/110's share the same bulkhead? Specifically, can you swap a v8 into a 2.5 without cutting on the bulkhead? I know with a series, the 2.25 and the six bulkheads are a bit different but did not know if the 110 bulkheads were universal. i will really need a v8 so I can tow a camper and they are not as common.

Thanks

it will not be an issue but there are minor differences in the later bulkheads. easy to fit any of the LR engines and drivetrains into the 90s and 110s. get the newest vehicle you can.

In early 90's and 110's the bulkheads are all the same except for trucks headed to Saudi and the tropics (they had no heaters so no cut out in the bulkhead). The 90/110/defenders use different floors and tunnel covers for the different engines so you would need to swap those out. Easy enough to do.

Its pretty easy to find an early v8 truck, and they have those lt85 (IIRC) combo trans-tcases. Its really a great transmission.

Uh, um, I'm working myself up to it? Yeah, that's it, giving it ALOT of thought but not much else. Actually, the truth is, I sold my 109, and have been working nonstop on my 88 so it will be ready when the sap starts running. Are you still commuting to Beantown?
