how much extra would you budget...

laf · Sep 2, 2010

have two land rovers, one with a good galvanised chassis but a weak 300tdi disco lump and one with a weak chassis but a spot on 200tdi.
i'll be doing the swap but just trying to work out a budget for the extra bits that i will inevitably need, any ideas would be good

if they are both defenders then you shouldnt need any extra bits. just take the engine and ancillaries from the 200tdi and fit it to the 300tdi chassis.

Think it would be a case of moving an engine mount or two

just gonna make sure i've got some new nuts and bolts etc then, hopefully should be a fairly cheap job if thats all thats required

Bit of shame having to weld new mounts onto a galvanized chassis. Not the end of the world though.

Ive heard that inhaling the fumes whilst welding galv is good for you
