What is involved in fitting a 200TDI engine into a 90 TD?

how long should it take? how much could i expect to pay for a good 200TDI? will i need to change anything else?
I would like to think i am a reasonably competent DIY mechanic but i have never worked on a landy before so i thought i had better ask the people who have, is there anything else i need to know that i havnt asked?
Thanks.

easy basicaly.
what vehicle is your donor coming form? if it is a defender tdi then everything will just swap, engine for engine, rad/intercooler for old rad.
if it is a disco 200, there are a few minor mods you will have to do. the disco flywheel housing needs a few of the stud and bolt holes re tapping and studs re positioning, dont worry all the holes are in the right places, you just have to tap where necesarry. the old TD mounts fit straight onto the tdi block so that is the engine physically in.
this is where the difficulties start. some of the disco parts, hoses etc are different in length, so new parts will be needed or fabricated. the turbo assy on disco engines is in completely the wrong place but can be used with a conversion downpipe. it will all go, and is definately worth the effort. that is the basics, and questions just ask! hope that helps.

I havnt got a doner vehicle yet as i didnt want to commit without knowing the facts, like i said im new to landys so like a berk i thought all 200 TDI's were identical ::) has the 200TDI got electronic management or is it a good old fasioned engine?

how much should i expect to pay for a good one?

Guardian.:
no electronics on a200tdi, or 300 tdi for that matter. just needs a starter motor and some derv. my favourite.
