any body done this about to start this project just bought the disco for the motor any advice would be greatly recieved

Les Henson:
I'm in the middle of doing it to a Swb S3. You'll need to fabricate engine mounts on the chassis. Series engine mounts are weedy little things in comparison to the 4-inch square TDi ones, which I'm going to use. As you have a complete donor vehicle - you may be able to cut the mounts off the chassis and then weld them to the series, which will save some time.
What gearbox are you going to use and are you going to fit the intercooler/radiator?

hi les
 thanks for the reply, gearbox wise going to use s11a for now but might look for a lt 77 i think thats the one and i am hope fully going to keep intercooler  rad have seen a picture of it fitted but i have the lights in the grill which will make it a bit tight. as for engine mounts thats a good idea to cut off the disco ones , have you started your project yet mine will be in the summer as have a 2 door rangie to finish welding lol

Les Henson:
I've been 'starting' it for 2-years :)
I altered a 200TDi intercooler and fitted it in front of the series rad with a push fan at the side of it.
I also bought a new chassis, cut the front crossmember off and put a new one on further forwards to allow power steering fitment.  I'm using a defender LT77 gear/transfer box and disc braked axles with leaf suspension.
