Engine swap

Looking at a 1986 (D) 90 which has a 2.5 N/A engine.

Can someone tell me, is the gearbox in this vehicle the same type that is fitted to the newer factory built 200tdi 90's/Defenders?

Also, will a 200tdi drop straight in? ie are engine mounting points on the chassis in the correct place?

yes

shirly this has got to be the most covered topic on EVERY landy forum ?

I'm only a member of this one....

And yes, I should have searched just thought it would be quicker if someone answered.

How can waiting for somebody to reply to a thread (16 mins by my count) be quicker than typing in 200tdi replacment into the search ox, and clicking on search ?

Well, I thought if I asked the question, went for a shower, made me dinner I would come back to an answer. It's not as if I was sat here pressing the refresh button every 5 seconds.

have a look at Patmans fred (to name but one).

Defender 200tdi? or disco 200tdi? Either should be an easy fit...just a few alterations if the disco version:
Putting a Disco 200TDi engine in a 90 - LR4x4 - The Land Rover Forum
200TDi conversions for 90/110/130 - by Glencoyne Engineering
Fit a Discovery 200tdi engine into a 90 / 110 2.5 petrol (200tdi conversion)
...only coz time is an expensive commodity in Aberdeen....

Mr P if you cant even be arsed doing a search on the topic then how on earth are you going to find the time/effort/energy to even start such a project????

Which while we're on the subject how did you get the status of being a 'senior member' if you dont even know the most commonly discussed posts on the forum?

Good luck with the project mate
