Haha I wasn't on the cadge mate, I'm searching for a disco myself- given up looking for a 200 so it's gonna be a 300 transplant. I've done loads of research on putting a 200 in, so I'm now swatting up on the 300- engine mountings need moving to keep the lt77 don't they?

I think you should do a step by step guide

Actually it's been simple, just time-consuming due to stuff happening elsewhere.

Drivers side engine mount needs making fit or re-fabbing completely, bringing it very close to the oil filter.
300 rad/IC is larger so the bottom brackets need cutting down and re-making to suit.
My 90 needed a new engine bay loom making up, so much of it was original 1989, stiff and crusty .. I suspect it may well be worth doing the same for the rest of it eventually!
Heater pipes need cutting down a bit, radiator top hose is different, as are oil cooler pipes and intercooler pipes. I bought 6' of pipe from Pirtek and will use the Disco oil cooler fittings so they fit correctly.
Exhaust needs some cutting and re-welding to suit.
Lots of fiddly bits, on mine air filter brackets, throttle cable, heater cables all needed tweaking ..
Still not finished or running yet, but close to .. Not been working on it all this week ...

Did you drill and tap the fly wheel housing?

Yes, but I tightened one stud too tightly and cracked it!

Not worried, I'm hoping it's a stable enough structure to handle a bit of stress ..

I'd not read that one, but the issues he had were exactly the issues we had! Did them the same way other than we've used the 300 flywheel housing.
