Converting 200TDi to Rover 3.5 V8

Gypseyman · Jan 9, 2006

Hi guys,

First thread, so be kind...

I have a 110CSW which has been worked really hard up here in the French Alps... I'm looking to to do a complete re-build this summer (starting with a new chassis!) and am contemplating switching my 200TDi engine for a Rover 3.5 V8.

Besides the obvious complications of requiring new mounts, bellhousing etc, are there any real issues that you might think of that might make me stop and re-consider..?

Any thoughts would be most welcome.

Cheers.

i think it would be easier to just buy a new chassis with mounts for the V8, it will save you allot of time.

looking at the date of the orginal post i think he might be finished by now

Nope, never even got started. Things kinda race by when it's a busy winter season...

Thanks for the tip. Have decided rather on buying another one, hopefully one with a galvanised chassis and maybe even an auto gearbox.

FOR SALE: 1 x 200TDi CSW. Tired but mechanically sound. A great workhorse that wlt meet some TLC.

Just one thing... You have to come to Chamonix to pick it up!

Cheers.
