Yes you can, although the petrol engine will be in tip top condition, otherwise you'll find it a struggle to use the higher ratios. I believe the diesel is too underpowered to make them viable.

They're usually better with a tweaked petrol/V8/Tdi conversion

sorry forgot to mention it was a petrol.... i was thinking about gettin a 200tdi engine for it, with a 200tdi i gearbox, but its cheaper to buy a whole car than it is to buy and engine. Im looking for a cheap disco, if anyone knows of one for about
