LT77 Dsco box into a 90

<< < (2/3) > >>

Disco-Ron:
YOu'd have to change the input shaft at the very least to do that....

discodug:
the lt77 box in the disco the gear selector is in a different place than the 90 so the gear stick is futher back.If it is a tdi i belive the gearbox mounts in the same place as 90 one does(change all the mounting brackets over from the 90 box to the disco box) if my memory serves me correct the input shaft is the same on all lt77 gearboxes expect the v8 one and it is only the selectors are different.

extreme90:
nope, input shafts are different
hence the disco bellhousing being 5 inch longer than a 90  ;)
thats why ive got a disco box in my 90, to push the engine forward 5 inches to allow me to keep the origional downpipe and get rid of the steve parker choker down pipe

90sam:
will everything be a standard fit out the disco if you move the engine mounts 5" forward then?

extreme90:
nope,
you will have to mod the seatbox ( cut a section out)
mod the gearbox tunnel
mod floor panels slightly
make a new center access hatch
extend pipes ect ect

to paint a picture time wise
i removed engine
gearbox
floor ect ect
made new engine mounts
fitted new gearbox
modded seatbox anf floor ect ect
mated the engine up
tacked mounts into place , removed engine, welded properly
refitted engine
plumbed it all in, make new air system and zaust
all in 22 hours
on my own  ;)
