Hi, this is probably a simple one for people in the know, but I am not sure the best option so I would appreciate some advice.
I am currently trying to install a TDI300 engine (Formerly in a Disco 1 1995) into my series three 1972 (Originally (1972) 6cyl petrol) engine, I have just removed prior to this new tdi engine install, an underpower Ford transit 2.5d engine.
I notice the Primary pinion on my series gearbox is different from the 22? spline socket in the clutch plate of the tdi . please could some one advise which is the best way forward.
1) is there a simple adapter coupler available
2) is there an aftermarket replacement primary pinion available? (if so is it a simple swap?)
2) do I change the pinion over from the gearbox on the disco (will it fit? i think it might be too long) to my series box
3) do I need to fit a different series box? from a defender etc
I really would like to keep the series box with all the different knobs etc as it is more true to the series landy look and I also have the overdrive which it would be good to retain. I also feel that fitting the disco gear box will be major hassle.
It would also be great if someone could point me in the right direction for some you tube video of doing the conversion too.
Thanks for having a look at my post and any help you might be able to offer
