gonna mount the Tbox in the 200 position & then mount as required heading forward,move the rad n intercooler back to meet the hoses

Just make sure you can clear the steering box......
Means you could push your winch a lot further back too!!

as per factory no i want to keep the lt77 as it is smooth and quiet.
when i fitted a 300 to my rrc i used the disco 200 tdi bellhousing as this is a straight fit. and i will look to do the same if i have room. :shock:
M&D do a nice set of engine mounts and i still have the template from the rrc so that should help. its just i have limited defender parts and sodbury is comming up so dont want to miss anything :)

To use the LT77 isn't that hard... all you need to do is swap the 300Tdi rear cover for the one off your Td. Doing this means that the engine will bolt straight onto the gear box - so all the transmission, flooring, propshafts etc etc stay the same.
All you need to do is weld on new engine mounts....
The only problem this causes is the fact the engine will be about 2" closer to the bulkhead than a 'factory' 300Tdi.
So every coolant pipe, intercooler pipework and the oil cooler pipes will need to be modified unless you try and move the radiator and intercooler back - but this isn't without problems either (i.e. steering box).
The exhaust will also have to be modified... and the air filter assembly might be a bit of a tight fit.
Have a read here: http://www.nicksjungle.co.uk/300conversion/300tdi.html - this guide covers most of the points.
