The basic engine is the same. If you have all the auxiliary bits off the D2 then it will fit straight in.

Don't forget the ancillary bits, to go with the auxiliary bits!

Id be interested in re kindling this thread.
Im starting a conversion of a td5 from a D2 into a D90 presently with a 2.5NA.
2.5NA runs well for now but she will need a new heart sometime.
Anyone else done this or similar? I know the engine mounts and LT77 will have to change but anything else i havent thought of?
ECU issues..?ECU is from the D2 and have the whole red harness.
Just to make it more exciting doing this in Seattle USA!

Im planning the same...ish, v8 to td5 and gearbox from a disco2. Ive seen it done
One thing you need to sort....the disco ecu needs an immobilizer signal from the body module. 3 ways I know to overcome this.
1 - Get a new ecu
2 - Send your ecu to a guy on ebay and he'll remove that bit.
3 - Rover, Landrover MEMS ECU immobiliser emulator
Ive got the immobiliser emulator here but not tried it yet. was going to wire it up to the disco and see it working before I take the engine out
