Hi, I'm looking to change the engine in my 1959 Series 2, it currently has a 2.25 diesil with a series3 gearbox. I'm looking into a 2.5 n/a diesil or 2.5 turbo possibly a TDI. I've been told that a 2.5 n/a will fit if I remove the battery holder due to the pump. Does the gear box nead a coverter  :?:
Thanks for any help.  :wink:

James.Harwood:
How about a 2.25 petrol, then tune it!

Dr Neil:
a 200tdi will fit in with a few mods, though don't need a converter plate :)

LANDYTIM:
Ive just put a 2.5n/a into my 1974 series 3.

The battery tray and air filter mount had to be removed.

I had to move the driverside engine mount and obviously re-wire the engine loom as it was a petrol.

With yours being a diesel already it will be alot easier to wire and plumb up!!

GarryBlades:
If I chose a TDI engine apart the cost of a donor unit, would the extra power be too much for the series gear / transfer box?
