hi folks got a range rover two door bobtail at moment with v8 four speed overdrive want to get rid ov these and put a diesel in 200tdi or 300tdi but need to no which one a 5speed v8 gearbox fits too so i can keep long stick gearbox and no mods on gearbox tunnel cheers folks
-
not sure what type of v8 box you want to use mate,but the v8 gearbox layshaft is different size,slightly smaller,so even if you change the clutch,the spiggot bearing/bush for the 200 or 300tdi will be to big,and im sure its wrong length as well.

nether the v8 bellhousing is alot bigger you need a 200/300 belhousing

And the TDi has/needs a longer 1st gear. With a V8 box you will struggle to set off in 1st.
You could possible build a hybrid using a TDi gearbox (LT77 form a turbo diesel or 200Disco) and the top end of your V8 long stick LT77, I believe the gearshift housings that bolts to the top are interchangeable.
Someone else might know for sure.
