Hi all
Is it possible to put a 200tdi engine into a 300 v8 petrol?
I have a good 200 tdi engine and manual box and i have a 300 v8 3.9 Auto. I would like to remove the V8 from the 300 and put in my 200 diesel onto the V8 auto box. I know the engine mountings are diffrent thats not a problem as i can cut them on the 200 but what other problems could i come across. And i would like to keep the 300 auto box.
Boath disco's have 11 months MOT and run good but the price of petrol and at 18 MPG the 3.9 has got to go but i like the 300 better than the 200 so can you see what i would like to do.
Has any one done this before and do you know where there might be a few photos of a good 'talk through' that i could use?
Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi
My girlfriends brother put a 200tdi engine into a disco 2 repalcing the Broken V8 engine
but they were both on a manual gerabox. He had to buy a bell housing from ashcroft transmissions

They would certainly be worth a call to discuss your idea.
David ashcroft was very knowlegable regarding a project i had in mind.

Soem problem maybe how the gearbox knows when to change up if the engines rev slightly differently between engines

Hope this helps
