Hi has any body ever tried putting/redrilling a 2.6 6cylinder petrol flywheel housing on to a 300 tdi engine. Im thinking of converting to a diesel iv had the head on the 6cylinder skimmed fitted new ex valve but the landy is still slow and sluggish due to cost of parts to rebuild a 6 cylinder plus the economy I would prefer a 300 as these more of them around has any one ever done it. I want to move the radiator pannel forward and i want to keep the series gearbox

Don't move the radiator panel you will loose the series look.
Just fit the engine in , I used a 2.5na back plate on my 300 tdi.

Shame that another 6 cylinder is coming off of the road, what are you planning on doing with the engine?

Try not to scrap the engine. Either keep or sell it.

Don't redrill the bellhousing they are like hens teeth, just get a 4 cyl one and swop it, it only takes about an hour once the engine is out
