200tdi engine swap/rebuild
Ridgeback:
I have found a 200tdi defender for sale and it needs at bottom end rebuild.
I have a good Disco 200 engine and was thinking I could try and build a defender engine using the Disco block and head.
Does anyone know if the block and heads are the same or will i need to modify them to take the defender parts.
I don't really want to just fit the disco engine because I will need to purchase all the conversion bits and its also worth less after.
stuntman:
Nope you'll be fine mate, just use your good block and head, then drop the defender manifolds on and you're away.
A days work :P

Ridgeback:
you both make its sound easy. Its the easy jobs that always take longer then they should!
stuntman:
Seriously mate, the 200 tdi is a great engine to fiddle around with, all parts are available readily and fairly cheaply and once you start the job and get stuck, a quick post on the t'interweb and you'll have an aswer quick enough as lots of people have rebuilt the same engine.
Go on, have a go!
