kkk2 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I have a 300tdi auto disco which I want to take the engine and auto box out of in one unit if possible, what the best way of doing this? will it swing forward or will I need to drop the unit down? lifting gear will not be an issue Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco_al Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 if you are not concerned about the truck it's coming out of, then cut the front panels open and pull it straight out the front, down isn't really an option unless you remove the front axle first, then unbolt an lif the shell off the top.

ciderman Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 New polystyrene shock mounts look good John Not quite , They are Mc donalds Supersize ones , Yep Kevin the truck is having a few changes , 200 LT77 out , 300 auto in moved back 7" , 100" wheelbase , new cage and wingbars .

ciderman Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Nice one, was having a look today, what x member will you use? and is there a 90 auto propshaft? Not going to use the disco x member , As much as I would of liked too ,It wont fit in my chassis as I have beefed it up underneath and the Disco X member simply wont fit between the rails . Im using the defender mounts , simply moving them back 7 " That will be Richs place then, no way your garage is that tidy! No and I dont have a Bentley in my garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbocharger Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I bet the Bentley's on best behaviour since it saw the Disco get cut up for a minor transgression... Actually, that'd be a monster engine/gearbox combo on Megasquirt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
