Has anyone fitted a Defender gearbox (inc transfer box) into a Series.

What are the likely problems?

ashcroft do a conversion kit to mount a defender gearbox (giving you 5 speeds) to a series transfer box (giving you selectable 2/4wd).

You have to move the engine forward slightly to allow retention of standard props etc.
