Hey, I just joined the F-150 diesel forum because I bought a Land Rover (LR) with the TDV6 and ZF8speed. While I understand the engines are very similar, there are a few major components that are not. Most importantly is the forged steel crankshaft added to the F-150. I also have been told that the connecting rod are also stronger on the F-150.
Does anyone know if the F-150 short block parts are interchangeable with the LR TDV6 to make it stronger, before I start tuning this truck? LR has Crank shaft issues, mostly in remote parts of the world. It probably has to do more with oil and maintenance, but who really knows. Forged cranks and rods are always better then not especially if your putting more power to a block that already says no.
