200 Tdi into Mpi

After years of faithful service, my G reg 200 Tdi has finally succumbed to terminal rot. However, I have managed to get hold of a very nice K reg Mpi for bugger all money. I want to put the Tdi lump into the Mpi. I have searched the forums for this subject, but found nothing helpful. Is it a straight forward swap? Both vehicles have LT77 gearboxes, but are the Tdi and Mpi gearboxes the same, or will I have to swap them and/or the transfer boxes? Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.

should be a straight swap.

nice edit

Back to 'Janet and John' until you get better at this reading malarky, eh Pikey.

Will the gearing still be ok with the mpi gearbox and transfer box?

It's the same gearbox & transfer box ratio's isn't it? If not just swap the 200tdi box over as well.

Quick google for "discovery mpi gearbox ratio" should get yu a definate answer

I have the mpi and was looking into a doozil transplant , be careful about the gearbox mate ,
not 100 % sure but i was told the mpi gearbox was only rated to the mpi engine and would fail under the extra torque from a doozil engine , be just as well to swap the box from the 200 as well.
