Use the crossmember and gearboc mountings that came with the TDi you are fitting.  The chassis are basically the same thing and the TDi crossmember is different to suite that installation.  I think the engine sits further forwards in the TDi.

Yes! the LT230 and B_W are fully interchangeable, the B_W has a ratio of 2.02:1.
