v8 to 300tdi. A few questions.

.jack. · Nov 3, 2011

I have searched but It just pulls up derv to v8 conversions or asking which engine to go for.:doh:
The 110 has no engine at the moment but started life as a v8, I can get a v8 and lpg kit for cheaps but I'd rather have a diesel so I can run it on oil.
So questions;
Will I need to use the complete 300 loom or splice the existing v8 loom to the 300s?
Im guessing 300 mounts bolt straight to where the current v8 mounts are?
Will the 300 bolt straight to the current lt77 box, if not is there an adaptor plate? different box?
Can I use the existing fuel lines?

What other parts will I need?

cheers.
