Hi not 100% but i have just put a 300 TDI into my manual RRC and the main work was the engine mounts and a 200 TDI belhousing to fit onto the LT77 man box. I know that the 200 mount are different to the V8 so that will require a change but i would give Ashcroft transmissions a call as they were very helpfull.

good luck :D  :D

No.  It will drive like s**t with an auto designed for a petrol engine.

The engine mounts need cutting off and shifting, otherwise the engine isn't the big problem, it's mating the engine and box.

Deisel autos are the work of Satan anyway, have you ever driven one?
