bit of a back story, got a transit 2.5di mounted to a series box on a disco chassis, gearbox blew so I decided to replace with a lt77 from a fender and 200tdi from a disco. (New photos on page 5)
job list
Move gear box - done
grind down old engine mounts - done
sort raditor and intercooler mounts - done
fit engine mounts - nearly done
move fuel filter done
remake gear lever to clear bulk head - done
fit new clutch, flywheel and flywheel housing done
Move brake pipe junction done
bleed power steering done
sort glow plug relay / wiring done
change 200tdi oil + filter
get rid of unnecessary wiring done
fit seatbox
fit battery
fit handbrake
fit air boxfit exhaust
fit axel breather
speedo cable
bleed clutch
got a new lt77 to replace the series gearbox that was in. it was a series suffix D, gearbox blew up, and the ford transit engine was a pile of crap, so I decided to convert to the 200tdi.
transit lump in there. notice how far the engine is sitting back.
transit engine out, for sale has the adapter plate to fit onto series box, easy conversion...
engine bay , needs wiring sorting and painting. New mounts will be added one gearbox is in.
getting ready to pull out disco engine.
out, needs cleaning, covered in 200,000 miles of crud and oil leak coming from rocker cover.
bit of paint. disco power steering box in. replaced the old one with ths from the disco as the steering on that was very good. Also used the track rod from the disco as the tie rod hook up was different.
unbolted the disco transmission cross member and bolted onto chassis. seems a little flimsy on the disco gearbox mount / contraption. also seems to be sitting a little high.
cleaned her up a bit and replaced rocker cover gasket and half moons.
got off the flywheel housing to send off to glycone engineering, might have to put it back on so I can line up where to put to engine mounts, going to mount the engine onto the gearbox the tack the mounts in place.
Will get a photo up of the throttle linkage and the progress I make tomorrow.
throttle cable on. assuming the tension from the injector pump return spring will keep it in place.
rad and inter cooler on okay. using frame from disco
gearstick bent the other way, went really easily with heat from blow torch. Now clears the bulk head.
trying to sort tunnel. I am picking a defender one up tomorrow.
Engine all fitted, I think I need to use a length of flexible hosing for the air intake.
Grill on!!
