Are you using your existing gearbox? Which I assume is a lt77

no i will be putting in the R380 box.

R380 gearbox mountings are different too, I believe you need a different cross member. If you keep the original box you can see all the bits you need to fit the 300tdi on the Steve Parker website.

I have an older 110 that has the 300Tdi mated to the LT77 gearbox...it uses the 2.5N/A flywheel housing...

Our Defender 110 has a 300Tdi mated to the R380 and uses the standard 300Tdi flywheel housing by the looks of it!

Have a read of this, he's only done it a couple of weeks ago

Which vehicle would you be using the 380 from as they have different bell housing on different vehicles?

engine conversion?
