ok so after lots of faffing and asking stupid questions i have dismantled, checked and put the newish engine back together. ordered the clutch and engine hoist both available friday.
but i have some more stupid questions.
the replacement engine is from an early defender and different in some minor respects.
1. the water pump has 1 extra outlet, can i use the pump from the old engine, it looks like it should fit?
2. the top bit of the thermostat housing is different, again the old one looks like it should fit, does it?
3 same as above for inlet manifold.
4. the r/h engine mount, if looking from the front of the engine, looks further back on the new engine, but looks like it can be moved forward a bit on alternative bolt holes, is this correct?
5. the fuel pump has a solonoid on it, the old one didnt, do you provide 12v to this solonoid for the engine to run or stop?
