Looks an excellent conversion by all accounts. Any more detailed pictures of the installation? I wonder also what the BMW flywheel bolt PCD is, and how it compares to the 8x79mm of a 300 Tdi, I would agree a 2.5 diesel backplate is easier to mount on the BMW block (flat front face that the Tdi...

Properly refurbished 101 would do, as would an RB44, or possibly a Pinzgauer if you can afford one. Or build an FC on a 110 chassis, you wouldn't be the first...

The new owner has appeared on the 900club.org board.

Some have em, others don't. Make your own is the best option.

Indeed, tell me more!!!

Still waiting for 6BT the Movie starring your 101...

No bids? Can't believe that. It'd be an excellent project too...

Disc brakes? Sounds fancy.

A Tdi will bolt in where a 2.5 comes out, bolt the 2.5 block mounts onto the Tdi and it falls straight in. Ideally you'd want to pick up a complete Disco for the job as you can have everything out of it for your 110 including the power steering box, and even the radiator/intercooler can be...

I'll do something once it's nearer completion.

I happen to be rebuilding a IIB for a chap at the moment also.

A very strong possibility my antipodean friend.

2WD LT77'S are quite different to the 4WD ones, whilst The SD1 V8 Bellhousing won't actually fit over a Land Rover V8 flywheel. Best plan -especially if you're running an adapter kit on a standards series box- is to get an LT77 from a pre 300 Tdi four cylinder and either spend the money on...
