Locally if you're willing to pay like $3K for it, Frontier will run a FIOS line out to your bumfuck farm/property. It's one of the expenses to take into account here if you want no neighbors.

I get like 3mb on a good day...Pennsylvania is still incredibly rural and a large percentage of my neighbors are old order Mennonite or Amish. I have a nice long paved driveway and my own private woods though, so I suffer through the garbage internet.

Any idea who you need to contact to make that happen? The wife and I are looking at property in SW Allen Co and I'd rather pay thousands of dollars to have a FIOS line ran than ever have to deal with Comcast again.

I'll hit up my buddy at Frontier and ask him the details. I should have noted, that obviously doesn't include the monthly usage fees.

Also, I assume it requires there being fiber somewhere nearby.
My parent's north coast community just banded together to get fios and laying the fiber 50+ miles cost $texas. It is going to be a community run thing though, so it should be pretty sweet.
Right now att has a monopoly on DSL and due to line quality it only sometimes hits 1.5 mbps.

Fort Wayne has an expansive city-maintained FO network that they, Comcast and Verizon worked together to build some years ago. There are gaps in availability but if you're within the city limits you have a very good chance of having access to fast internet speeds. And even outside the city limits have coverage to most areas within reason. When Verizon pulled out of the city and sold to Frontier things got kind of messy for a bit but they seem to have their poo poo sorted out now.

Wrong. M62s came in 03-05 l322s. The rover v8 is a buick 215 from the 60s.

Im in class and will make a table later of what works where and what work is required to make it run.

It doesn't reallt matter, common Landie bellhousings are designed to bolt to a separate flywheel housing on the back of the engine, so you have a lot of leeway to play with for making adaptor plates compared to most gearbox designs.

The P38 Range Rover used a 2.5 BMW Diesel 6, using the same transmission used in the Defender (and presumably Disco) at the time, so it would make sense.

So you wanna make your rover more interesting.
4hp22s were used on everything NAS unless it had a 4.6, then it was a 4HP24. (some rrcs got chryco trannies in the early 80s)

Least effort to full effort:
Lincoln mark VII D24
Jag/Aston AJ6. These engines use the SaGEMS engine management found on 96-98 rovers anyway, but with electronic transmissions. Aside from bracketry, this is nearly a plug/play option for P38s.
Volvo Redblock, D24
BMW: M10, M20, D24, M30,M50, M60, M70, came directly with this box. Using that any S series should bolt up, possibly N series.
Audi I5/V6/ 3.6/4.2 V8s

M21/D24 is a big stupid pig of an engine with parts availability gone to poo poo. Someone :ninja: just bought the second to last brand new head from BMW for later sale at a profit and someone on a E30 facebook group got the final one.

Ah, you meant the autos. Yeah, they'll give you a lot of options.

Note you can get adaptors to mate things like TH400s to the Rover LT230 transfer case (and the series one, too, actually, they're both pretty strong), so your options really are very open - like Overfinch slapping SBCs into RRCs.
