hi, i have done exactly what you are trying to do, join a 300 tdi and lt77 together,

i used the backplate of the old td engine and it went straight onto the 300 tdi so can't really explain where your going wrong but it can be done if i can do it,

make sure you put some sealant round the backplate before bolting on to the engine as it will probably leak oil out like mine has when you get it running, having to split engine and box again to seal it

hope you get it sorted.

Hi I have a forum opened up about my truck I have a 300tdi engine with a lt77 gearbox and obviously bell housing bolts don’t line up ? Trying to figure out what to do buy a new gearbox etc etc. How did you manage to do yours to make it all work ? Thankyou

Was the R380 gearbox that is normal fit for a 300Tdi been fitted or do you still have the original LT77 gearbox. ?

Hi so I’ve been told I have the lt77 gearbox and the defender was a 200tdi but before I got it they put a 300tdi in it.

But yea basically the engine fell out off roading 😂 as the engine mounts gave way as they obviously didn’t make them properly to fit the 300 my mate recons so he said we will make new mounts etc. So whilst we were under the truck looking we noticed the bellhousing doesn’t line up about 4 bolts on the bottom. Sorry if this doesn’t make any sense to you guys. So whilst we have the engine out to do new mounts I want to sort this problem? Would it be a NEW gearbox to fit the 300tdi engine ?  So the trucks off the road and sort of been panicking thinking is it now ruined sort of thing so yea any help is great thank you

I’m also aware what I’m saying might not be quiet right as I don’t have a big understanding in it all

I own a Land Rover 90 originally was a 200 then someone put a 300 lump in then I purchased it. Been having loads of fun until the other day the engine mounts gave way. Not a big issue as we are going to take it out make new mounts because whoever did it before didn’t do them properly. We then noticed the bell housing bolts we are missing about 3 at the bottom but we can’t get any in as they don’t line up ? Can anyone help on what I need to do ? New gearbox if so what one etc Thankyou in advance
