E-rod
Here is the scoop on the E-Rod. It's not legal in California in any Land Rover.
Here's why...
The LS3 E-rod (6.2L car engine) is restricted to 1995 and earlier vehicles and had a GVWR limitation of 5750 lbs. A D90 is 6100 GVWR. All other models are higher.
The LC9 E-rod (5.3L truck engine) has been discontinued. It had a GVWR max of 7500. Which would have been the only option for the 90/110.
The only option for California is the "engine change" as outlined by CARB (California Air Resource Board) using an LC9, LMG, L92, or L94.

I need a 2 door 110 soft top with an LS in my life. Love it.
They may be just what I do.

Cool.... drop us a PM if you have any questions.
I figured I should post this over here also.
Here’s a video from August of my 1988 90 with the 19J that I used to sell the engine on eBay:

And here’s a video I shot this morning with the 2012 Camaro L99/6L80 I’m just finishing up:

All I can say is wow! If you are on the fence, I hope this provides the motivation to move your ass!

Where'd you end up sourcing the axles? I saw on the other forum you were waiting and waiting....
.
The weak point will be the ring and pinion unless you have a pinned, HD one. You won't break the half shafts.
We are only discussing the rear axle. With the chrome-moly halfshafts and the Truetrac, the Ring and Pinion will be the weakest part of the axle by a long margin. If you use a modern HD R&P and pin it, everything is close to the same strength and should be fine unless you run large tires and are abusive.

Well there you go. I guess that just stems from my constant fear that the CV's in mine are one day going to blow at a most inconvenient time...
