advice on engine swop

hi can any one give me adive on this i was wondering if i can put a 2.5 diesel engine from a land rover 90 on a b reg into a c reg range rover, will it fit onto my manual five speed gear box or will have to get a conversion plate for it. why i want to no is cos i have spent a lot of time and money trying to get the range rover running right and driving right, this is a list of what parts i have put on complete clutch another gear box & trans verse box new slave cilinder new master cilinder presure bled it and still its makeing this noise from the gear box, makeing it sand as if the presure plate is not holding the clutch on the nose is loud, if the revs stay low its not to bad drive a bit quicker and change a bit quicker the nose starts again . i wonder if it is cos im useing patton pats. hoo ever reads this and gives good advice thank you

my advice for what its worth is dont even consider it the 2.5 from the 90 whether its a turbo or normally aspirated is just not powerfull enough for the rangerover its just a no no from start to finnish

Hi Im not sure what engine the 90 has but I have 2 Range Rovers a 1989 vouge SE and a 1993 Vouge LSE that I have converted to the 300 Tdi and they are more than capable unless you want to do over 90 mph or 0-60 in 10seconds I now get 400 miles to the tank instead of about 280 and by the way they are both autos

thank you for your adive. the engine was a non turbo engine one, i was wondering will this engine bolt straight to my range rover gear box or will i have to get a conversoin plate, i was only going to use the range rover for green laneing , im only thinking of this cos i have spent most of my buggit on this car and still have not got to the bottom of the nose comeing from the gear box area i may have to call it a day on this car soon this is list of the bits new clutch another gear box new slave new master cill, new pipes new every think any more advice from any one would be much appriecatated thank you

I suspect that you will have to get a plate between the engine and gear box as the Range Rover was never intended to have a diesel from the start. Both of mine had to have a plate between them. I have a contact if you need to talk about it Longranger vehicle manufactured from used land rover parts

Thanks Craig
