Ivan Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Mate of mine has a Series III 109 6 Cylinder. He has a chance of a 2.5 TD Engine from an LDV van. Has anyone fitted one of these before ? If so what needs to be changed (e.g. Gbox etc) or will it bolt straight onto a Series GBox ? Would this be the same engine as the 19J TD fitted to LRs' ? If so then I can use Les' Catflap II project as a guide. TIA Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I got a LT77 from a 400LDV, it used the same bellhousing and clutch parts as the 200TDi Land Rovers, and therefore bolts straight-up to a series III engine as well. All going well if it's the same 2.5TD (and not a peugeot lump) as what a Freight Rover shared with Land Rover it should drop in, with modified engine mounts naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks for the quick response Minivin. So it looks like it should be just a bolt in fit with new engine mountings (and a few other tweaks). Cheers Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 In theory, but just remembered that the 2.6 6 cylinder uses a different bell-housing to the 2.25/2.5/200TDi as it is 11 bolt instead of twelve bolt. You would need to also change the bellhousing if it is running a 2.6 6 cylinder at present, to the bell housing used on the 2.25 SIII gearbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 OK, thanks for that. Not a problem as we have a couple of Series III 2.25 gboxes floating around. Ivan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehetabel Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The engine mounts are also different on the 2.6 from the "standard" LR placement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
