Disco 200Tdi into my 1984 110
Muddy:
its a heck of a lot of hassle to swap backplates, instead just remove the locating dowls and remove IIRC the bottom 3 studs, drill out and tap the existing holes that are next to them and it slots in a treat. biggest problem i found was the pipework that i am still not 100% happy with even after moving the turbo.
Les Henson:
There's no real hassle in replacing the flywheel housing. Just remove the flywheel and undo the 6 bolts that holds the housing to the engine block and remove it. It would be wise to replace the crank rear seal while doing this conversion so you would be removing the flywheel anyway. I guess it comes down to whether or not you think that removing studs, drilling, tapping, and getting the bolts is easier than changing the housing.

Well. Thsnks guys. In the end, the engine i was meant to be getting turned out to be a really bad smoker. It put me off, considering the 2.5 nad i have isnt. Never mind. Ill keep my eye out for another one.
Miniman:
Was it a bad smoker due to the pump being turned up for more power....?
