Hello. Ive got myself a true barn find series 11a. Needs some mild chassis and bulk head repairs but is in very good condition over all.
Its 109 sw. So comes with the 6 cylinder 2.6l petrol. Ive fitted the dizzy that was in the parts box. And a random hif carb to get her running. And she fired up lovely after a 21 year rest! So very please so far. However there does seam to be too many fine bubbles in the water, suspected head gasket, on a motor known for trouble. Would be nice to keep here orginal....but....id like to use it a fair bit.
So just wondering is the bell houseing the same for the 2.6. What engines will go straight in? Especially interest in a 300tdi conversion. Dont mind welding engine mounts n stuff.
Also considering a 300tdi discovery as a donor vehicle. Then could swap engine gear box and transfer box. And even the axels.
Comments on pros and cons greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
