ive currently got a 1987 200tdi defender which i am bored with diesel and fancy a venture into petrol. I have been told that a 2.5 petrol should just bolt straight in using the 200 engine mounts and bellhousing. Can anyone tell me if this is correct or not?

muchly appreciated.

why an earth would you want to do that?
more guttsy
less power
not as good at wading of road

i could understand a v8:confused:
 
well i want a petrol to tinker with as ive tinkered with the diesel and on a 200 there is only so much you can do, i want to venture into carbs and petrol tuning and why not have the ease of both? keep the 200 for when i get bored of the low mpg

IF yu tune the petrol injun it'lll implode on ya. and even with a stage 1 full race tune done to it. ya still wun't get more than 65mph out of it. best thing to do with a landy petrol injun is weigh the fooker in for scrap value. :p :p

ave got a 5.5 HP Honda engine outta fooked genny you can have if you want something simple to fettle with - you might have to drill/tap a few more mounting points on the bellhousing to make it fit
