Huh?
TDI = 107/110BHP
3.9V8 = 190ish BHP
Sorry you have lost me there a bit....

Got me thinking as well! Even a 3.5 carb has 130 bhp (EFi 165) :-k

Good conversion, just changed my old 82 greenlaner to a tdi from daughters old car. Mine was diesel already using a Nissan Patrol motor so it was relatively easy. Get an old Disco and use the ngine, gearbox, rads etc makes it very easy in my view, only PITA is the welding but not much of an issue with a donor vehicle. A small issue is getting the rocker cover off as it will sit a tad under the decker panel so it doesn't come off with out some fiddling !!
Performance wise it's fine, I have tweaked the injection pump a bit and it's good still returns mid 30s most of the time.
