defender engine swap.. izuzu trooper 2.7td?

hello all, newbie here..

i haved a 2.5 n/a diahatsu diesel engine in my c reg 90 commercial.....

and it's not good at hills, not at all..

one of my friends wants to give me an engine, a 2.7td out of a trooper. is there anything i should know about it all?

will it fit? will it go fast? will the gearbox explode? etc....

thanks in advance..

it should fit, depending on if you have any 'extras' in the engine bay. you will have to change the engine mounts and im not sure but i think you wil need a new adapter plate or bell housing. Ross
