I believe you can buy adapters now I'm unsure where you get them from but I'm sure somebody knows.

I thought the Bell housing and input shaft were longer on the disco?

Soo... With the kit from Ashcroft's and a new prop for the rear a Disco 380 will replace my lt77??
110 1986 with disco 200 BTW.

no the engine and transmission on a 300tdi sit further forward than a 200tdi hence different tunnel floor plates and seat box front, but the kit means a disco box can have defender gearstick fitted thus making it a defender box

you can fit longer bell housing boxes but it means pushing engine forward , i struggle to find defender lt77s to rebuild
