bunnybasher100 Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 its not that hard you may have to reweld the engine mounts and move the gearbox mounts depending where you want the balance point, plus check the prop shafts, and uprate the springs on the front coz the desiels are a heavey lump. any quires pm me and i will ask about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auto culto Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 (edited) you will have no probs swapping. You will have to re-weld the engine mounts on the chassis and pipe in the inter cooler. As the donor vehicle was a disco you would need a special made up exhaust front pipe to clear the chassis at £150 Edited February 6, 2008 by auto culto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
