So as my Defender is doing more heavy towing nowadays, I am toying with the idea of fitting a disco 2 4.0 v8 and the disco 2 auto box. Looking at the box itself, it looks like the shifter isn't set as far back as that in the disco 1 cos I don't really want it sat where the cubby should be!
So my question being, will this gearbox go in ok, will my Defender transfer box transfer to this transmission ok.
Just toying with the idea but what else would I need to consider? What would I need in terms of ECUs? Don't want too much leccy.
I love the 200tdi as its so robust and simple, great engine but just a bit too noisy and slow for me I think for towing such a heavy load I could get a hybrid turbo on top of its mods already but then that would be around the cost of a V8 and box and out lots more strain on engine components.
Cheers.

it's robust and simple just like the 200tdi, mucho torque and it'll be great on fuel compared to the v8 and even the tdi.
