V8 to 200TDI

(1/2) > >>

fesuvious:
Hallo, can anyone help with this quick question:

I have a 3.5 V8 and wish to change to a 200tdi.

Will the gearboxe on the V8 match straight up to the 200tdi ? (Id rather just swop the engine than the box as well !)

On the 200tdi at the moment is a LT77, Thanks,

p.s anyone want any V8 bits ?

muddysteve:
i believe the gearbox's are different, or the bellhousings are atleast

maybe easier just to dump an engine and gearbox in comlete. i'm sure mr muddyweb wil know exacly whats involved

Steve

PS whats up with the V8?

muddyweb:
Spot on Steve... they are different.

Get an engine and box together and drop the whole lot in.

Someone will be able to tell you for sure but..............
If I understand what your planning:- V8 out, 200 Tdi in and mate with V8's LT77 box?
I think the LT77 for the V8 has a longer mainshaft than the LT77 fitted to the 200 Tdi. Thus just changing the bellhousing wouldn't work cos the mainshaft will be too long.

Budgie:
All posting at the same time again I see!  :D
