my poor old series 3

stuntman:
If you're dropping in the 2.5 why not drop the 2.5td in, it's really not as bad as people make out, and you may get away with using the series engine mounts and brakets, if not someone should be able to weld the mounts on if can't weld, its a nice easy engine conversion aswell.

landy_bug:
can weld but don't want to cut thu galv so 2.25 it will be don't like 2.5td as have had bad experiance with it before. 5 bearing diesel best when going 2.25? or good low milage 3 bearing sufficiant? seems to be alot of the 3 bearing about maybe this is best? if i was moving mounts i would stick with v6 3.0 love the power not the fuel economy!

Rich_P:
Both 3 and 5 bearing engines are good.  The 5 bearing will be marginally longer lasting over the 3 bearing, as it has an additional two crank bearings to spread loads across and maintain oil pressure with.

landy_bug:
cheers i think standard motor would be best for ease of maintenance, i know v6 setup is difficult weber carb a pig for newbie to setup never had it running quite right but awsome power, i suppose thats why my gbox is broke, 4 wheel spin on tarmac aint good! :lol:

If you're after a free engine I where there is an old diesel lump
