Hi all
Is it possible to put a 200tdi engine into a 300 v8 petrol?
I have a good 200 tdi engine and manual box and i have a 300 v8 3.9 Auto. I would like to remove the V8 from the 300 and put in my 200 diesel onto the V8 auto box. I know the engine mountings are diffrent thats not a problem as i can cut them on the 200 but what other problems could i come across. And i would like to keep the 300 auto box.
Boath disco's have 11 months MOT and run good but the price of petrol and at 18 MPG the 3.9 has got to go but i like the 300 better than the 200 so can you see what i would like to do.
Has any one done this before and do you know where there might be a few photos of a good 'talk through' that i could use?
Thanks for any help you can give.

I have sold the V8 engine to a mate and doing this gives me something to do at the weekend

you'll need a diesel autobox too as they use different ratios IIRC...
