swap?

(1/4) > >>

Jake:
Just a thought at the moment
I'm 'considering' swapping the engines around inmy disco's
sticking the 300tdi in the off roader and the v8 in the road car.
I'm aware this will be a mother of all jobs.
but, apart from the obvious, whats involved?
engine mounts?
could i keep the gear boxes in the original cars our would they have to swap too?
Electrics?
is there much different betwen the 200 shaped v8(91)and a 300 tdi (96)?
There is an LPG system to swap too. on the v8
i have spare fuel tanks so i could use the v8 on petrol for a while and fit the LPG later, i suppose?


Am i mad?
or does this sound like a good idea?
 :twisted:

ps if anyone wants to help me over a few weekends it would be apprieciated  :wink:

Jake! have a word you would be certified as a loon if you swapped your two over mate :wink:  would be better to pick up a 200tdi from somewhere and stick in if you want to go that route

TUFFTEE:
Jake! I agree with Neal! That would be a task not bothering with! Just look out for a 200tdi as Neal advised!!

Jake:
ok
Thought 1 finished with
Maybe the swap should be parts
2" lift, bumper, diff guards and cb into the tdi
Stick the parts from the tdi onto the v8?
turning the 300 into the off roader
What do we think of that?

(still trying to persuade SWMBO to let me, nearly there  :twisted: )

gecko:
