need4speed Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I have the chance of picking up an R380 for my 90 build. However it comes from a 300TDi disco. Obviously i'll need a different bellhousing to fit it onto my 4.6, but what else will i need to change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean f Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 You will find the gearstick is in the wrong place as the lay out is different from a disco to a 90. It is possible to rebuild the box and swap the parts over to convert it but it is not easy so probably better to go for a defender box and a V8 conversion ring. Not sure if you will need to do any thing with the first motion shaft but sure some one else will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
