This is my 90 a 1990 200tdi on 35-12.5-15 wheels/tyres. Lt77 gearbox 1.222 transferbox.

This thread is for anyone who’s thinking of converting from a 200tdi to a v8. I’m in the process if converting mine at the moment. I will be posting photos of the conversion as i go.

Yes james, i want to keep everything as land rover intended. I can then use standard parts etc. The only issue being the mount on the chassis being in the 200tdi position. I am going to fabricate the engine mounts to suit. I dont want to cut the chassis mounts because its a galvanised chassis...

If you zoom in you can see how far apart the mounts are between the 200tdi on the chassis and the v8 on the block. I put a measuringtape across and its 5”!

Some progress, got the crossmember in and fitted the gearbox and also bolted up the mockup block ready to fabricate some engine mounts!

Slowly, my garage is absolutely full at the moment. Everytime i want to work on the 90 i have to empty it. I’m planning on building an extension to the existing garage for more space. (Lucky that i’m in no rush to do it)

hope someone can help. How much does a bare rover v8 block weigh? I’m going to use a bare block for the mock up of the engine mounts for an engine conversion due to it being much lighter than a full engine. I have a 3.9 full engine with ancillaries ready to go into my defender but it weighs a...

Sorry oldseadog my post wasnt very clear. (Amended now).

I want to sell my bulkhead. What’s the going rate for a tdi bulkhead these days? I've had a look on that auction sight to have some idea but they all look like they need a lot more work than mine! I’m planning on fitting a tdci/puma bulkhead on mine and sell the tdi one on. There are 2 small...

Too true!

Good luck with the conversion, i’m currently stripping mine down to do the same. So far i have a 90,000 mile 3.9efi out of a discovery1, genuine v8 r380 out of an early discovery2, 300tdi gearbox crossmember, 300tdi tunnel with diaphram, seatbox with larger cutout for 300tdi tunnel. Still on the...
