    200 TDI TO V8 Conversion

    yeah, i reckon my around town driving is getting me 22mpg ish in the 200tdi, and i dont mind paying a bit more for the sound of a V8 gorging itself on the contents of my fuel tank. The only thing im currently struggeling with is that the gearbox off the V8 is a range rover one which will not fit.

    200 TDI TO V8 Conversion

    Can i reuse the 200tdi's engine mounts and just move them to suit the new engine? as ive only been able to get hold of an engine and gearbox instead of a donor. Also can anyone out there tell me if i can use the glowplug wire on the coil, if not which is the best wire to use? Peter
