thank you so much chaps i'll keep you posted and let you know how i get on! kev

i'm near yeovil somerset. hopefully there is someone out there nearby who might be intrested in helping me out for some $$$ of course. do you think it'd be best to try and get the whole disco until the conversion is finished in case other bits are needed. another question is how different is the gearing on an r380 to lt77, if i haven't got the nerve to do the auto conversion i'm confident i can do a 200tdi as well as better power i'd like a better top speed than what i've got now i assume what ever i put on my current box the engine will be screaming 60+. what are the options here and what can i expect speed wise?

thanks for the advice everybody its from a p reg disco. i think i'll get the engine and auto box together then i don't reckon my gearbox will cope with the extra power. to recap what you are saying the disco engine and gear box will go in but i'll need a longer prop shaft? i take it that the prop would get loosly fitted to make sure all the mounts are in the right place before weilding? i'm ****ting myself about this conversion but i suppose he who dares wins. so between you what is the definative list of bits i'll need to complete the job? from the disco and sourced bit just so i can tell the scrap yard what the need to take off. many many thanks

i bet most of you are sick of engine conversion advice. please bear with me as i'm new to landrovers and love them already apart from being overtaken by lorries and milkfloats. i have a 110 2.5 n/a, i've been offered a well mantained 300tdi disco lump with auto gearbox. what are my options hear, will the two go together in the defender with a bit of chopping and glueing or do i need to get a r380 if the auto box won't work, what mods would couple the gearbox to the engine and make it work OR should i forget the whole 300 idea and get a 200tdi and put onto my existing gearbox? the chap's holding the engine till tomorrow, so if there is anyone still awake please run me through the best options so i can enjoy my landy even more.
