i have a 1988 swb defender with a j19 type turbo diesel witgh a 5 speed manual, my question is i want to put a 300tdi in so will it be a straight swop or will i need to find another gear box to match? any other modifications needed?

nope, need a r380 long stick gear box,
different props, change the engine/ gearbox mounts, seat box, transmission tunnle, the whole lot basicaly
easier to fit the better 200tdi in, as thats a straight swap :wink:
and funnily enough ino where theres a minted 200tdi going up for sale shortely :wink: with a new pump and turbo and is going for next to nuffing for a gen defender engine :shock:

Yes and no....
It can be made to fit with an Lt77 but....
Depends if you want an 'as factory' conversion so every part is avaliable 'off the shelf'....
Or you want to modify stuff to fit - which means if anything needs replacing in the future, you'd have to modify that as well?? (including water and oil pipework amoung others)

Don,t go down the route of putting a 300tdi on a lt77 gear box. You have that many problems been there do that never again. Buy a r380 box etc cheaper in long run. It looks 100 times better as well.
200 tdi all the time easy and cheaper
