Thank you very much for the replies and the clarification on Disco series ?? The master plan was to fit the axles to my chassis, lower the engine & gearbox in and line it up and chalk the chassis for perfect alignment of the engine mounts. I'm going to carefully plasma the mounts off the defender as there in good condition. as for gearstick / control positions I'm happy to locate these closer. Can I just say that I'm very impressed with this forum, there's seems to be proper advice, great communication and some right knowledgable buggers compared to some other forums ??? L90-V8 thanks, you've answered my question that's most relevant to my current stage of the rebuild ? Regards kenny

So I have a ex Royal Mail 90 2.5n/a Defender, chassis has been refurbed as it was in a sorry state (last on the road 2003). I managed to pick up a Discovery 2 (2000) from a military chap who had polybushed, updated suspension etc. and bobtailed it. So it's going to be the Donor, I have read through some fantastic posts regarding engine mounts etc. Exhaust down pipe etc. what I understand is that the axles will swap straight over, I can live with the R380 sitting further back, my question is the 90 prop looks a different figment type to the Disco and is obviously longer, what rear prop an I looking for to fit?
