with an lt77 they appear in the middle where the cubbybox or centre seat would normally fit.

Why not just pop rivet ally?
Seems like a huge job to do, a 200tdi would be much easier - whynot flog the 300 on ebay and get a decent 200tdi engine that will drop right in?
And yes you will need a new radiator and surround, an intercooler, new hozes for the intercooler (about 60 quid of ebay - or make them yourself for less - if you have the right tubing), you will also need to mess about with the electrics and ECU for the 300 + lots more.
Not the nicest job in the world.
Also will be a strange setup to have the gear leaver where the cubby box is - may reduce the resale value a bit - maybe a lot more than getting a 200tdi engine will cost ????????

Why the fook do ya need to change the rad & intercooler tis the same as on a 200tdi. ya just lower the mounting brackets approx 30mm and what ecu? that's only on the late 300's and is a piece of **** to sort out.
That was what I was thinkin, just about on the join where the seatbox meets the tunnel.
I was goin to try extending the gearlever and cranking it forward so that it was a sort of down movement to get 1st etc and pull up and back for 2nd etc. Used to have an old truck like that.

Because he has an N/A in there not a 200tdi so either way he going to have to change the rad, and fit an intercooler!
I was more concerned with the fitting on the auto box causing a huge mess inside the cab.
