3.9 v8 efi auto into a 90 defender

as title im going to put the 3.9 v8 and auto box in my 90.i have the range rover classic to take the parts off,what else do i need?and as the 90 is a 200tdi this is what im unsure of

fuel tank is the 90 200tdi be ok
what fuel pump to use
wiring loom where to splice in to the 90,s loom
autobox fit stright in with out cutting bulk head?
what props will i need?
basicaly any help advice will be greatful and most of all pics please

i now no that the auto box clears the 200tdi bulk head which is cool,just wats concerning me is the wiring.as i dont no what wires to splice in my 200tdi,s loom

anyone?

there was a thread a couple of weeks ago about putting the same into a trialer. have a search.
it had a description of the wires you need for the ecu.
its fairly simple with only a main feed and ignition feed to the ecu, this is all i have to rum mine and all things like starter, alternator and senders are seperate. you can keep your 200 loom and use it for starting, charging, temp and oil, stop solenoid feed to coil instead. just fit the efi engine loom seperately as it is only the injection system it covers not the whole engine, the rest is seperate.
As i remember if you unwrap the loom at the fuel relay end there is a big connector with thick brown wires in it and one coming out of it. this is your permanent feed. I think the ignition feed is white and purple. these are the only two you need for it to run the engine.
For the fuel pump just keep the tank and obviously flush it out. fit an inline pump and filter capable of about 30psi and you will be fine. you already have a return to the tank so that will also be fine.
probably easiest to use the fuel pump relay in the loom to power the pump as its there, just extend the wires. (actually i think thats the white and purple one!)
Simples!

thank you very much for the advice glad i joined this forum thanks again

what inline fuel pump would you recomend.ive heard the efi one fits but need to extend the bracket ?

have a look on ebay and there should be some that are a replacement for an original bosch inline pump for bmw, audi etc.
something like this.http://http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/In-Line-Fuel-Pump-E10002_W0QQitemZ130257300902QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item1e53f0ada6
find one with the right connections to put into your fuel line.

think you'll need the longer ones from the rangie as the ZF box sits a bit further back

yea il have to check that out as going to strip the 200tdi out my 90 hopefully weekend

does yer 200tdi still go? looking to get rid of it? yes please...

yes i am actually mate its a lovely engine with a gen 8k and a 2k ashcroft new gearbox and transfer box make me a offer as its still in the defender

what have you lot used for the cooling rad as the 3.9 has engine cooler going to the rad and also has a auto box cooler,dose the rangy one fit?or do i keep the 200tdi one and buy a after market oil cooler for the autobox?

part number is ESR-75 not cheap I have to say, mine needs a recore which will cost around £150

Here is my one i am doing




and one of the donor car

ive started to take the old 200tdi out now so hopefully i will at least have the engine out ready for the v8 next week

Another beutifull classic , gone to the scrapyard in the sky?

yep to make way for a stunning and powerful defender.i cant believe how much these range rovers have dropped in money shame as i love them also.il be selling the left over parts so will help another live on.
