2.8TGV with 300tdi autobox, bigger torque converter or stock??

Hello you all,

I'm sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Netherlands. I have a RRC converted with International 2.8TGV engine, I want to fit a 300tdi automatic gearbox, I have already one with 4HP24 internals, is it necessary to fit a bigger torque convertor? I already ordered a bigger oilcooler from a P38. I can only fit a bigger convertor from MD engineering, they have a complete kit but it costs 895 GBP :-( ..... when it is absolutly necessary I will order the kit.

What do you guys think??

Cheers, Bart van Dessel

Bigger I believe, there was a disco 1 300 tdi owner on this Forum who installed the 2.8TGV engine.
He got his torque converter from Ashcroft Transmissions https://www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk/ Possibly, it could have been a V8 torque converter.

I will let you search his thread for the information.
