danster Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 ok so i converted my 1986 90 to a 300 tdi using the original lt77 i have now got hold of a defender r380 what differances are there in the two? will i have to get differant propshafts? or will the gearbox mount in the same place? i have the 300 tdi engine it was bolted to so now have the defender airfilter and pipeing i know i will have to weld some engine mounts further foreward but i could then use the lt77 with a 300tdi in a series project im doing cheers in advance!

landroversforever Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 For the 200tdi, You need the stumpy bellhousing and I think input shaft too. I'm not sure if the 300 will fit onto the stumpy R380. However, leaving the transferbox as it is, fitting the R380 and then moving the engine mounts will (i think) give the 300tdi the factory position. This will keep your props the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danster Posted November 29, 2010 Author Share Posted November 29, 2010 yeah thats what i was thinking. i have the proper defender air intake and filter that goes round the back of the engine so at least that will look neater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
