Harry defender Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) Hi I have a 200tdi engine that I want to put in a puma body I just wondered is it possible to do this as the engine mounts are different and I’m not sure if I can fabricate engine mounts onto the chassis or if this is not possible. Could anyone shed any light, Thanks Edited February 19, 2019 by Harry defender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quagmire Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 What happened to the Puma engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 It would be a lot easier to fit another puma. Assuming you still have the gearbox you'll need an adapter (I believe it's been do for a 300tdi). Your dash may not work and half the engine wiring will need altering. Exhaust and gearing will probably need looking at. Engine mounts will be comparatively easy to sort. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Drumstick Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Gearing wouldn't need touching, but everything the engine bolts or plumbs into would. It would be a massive amount of work to gain less power, less performance and a lot more noise. I'm a Tdi fan, have two 200Tdi's, but they are completely inferior to the latter engines in every regard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
