Outdoor Ed Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have a 3 door V8 disco, that I want to change to a 200tdi. I have a LT77s gearbox on the Disco can I just bolt a 200tdi straight onto the gearbox or do I need to faff around changing the gearbox too. the gearbox is solid and being the LT77s has a useful things like a series clutch fork, which is much better than the pressed types. I know I need to put a return fuel line into the fuel tank for the diesel, put a different air box in and a fuel filter, and I was just going to put a switch on the dash for the heater plugs. will a 200tdi fit on my gearbox?

fozsug Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 Pretty sure you will need to change the bell housing on the gearbox to a 200 tdi. I sure someone who knows for sure will be along to confirm or shoot me down in flames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragorn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 You might get away with just swapping the bellhousing, but you'll need to make a custom spigot bearing, as the V8 spigot shaft is 3/4" and the TDi is 7/8" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to have to fit engine and boxes from the tdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragorn Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How do you mean "wont fit"? You will need to fit a Tdi bellhousing to the V8 box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landowner Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 How do you mean "wont fit"? You will need to fit a Tdi bellhousing to the V8 box. The 200tdi will not fit straight in after taking the V8 out. So I will leave the tdi intact with its boxes to fit that in and remove the LT85 or maybe the other way round may be best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
