Engine will straight swap.
Gearbox is different but can be converted. Haven't done this myself but I would think that the parts on your defender box will swap over to the disco version.
Disco Transfer box is a higher ratio and some say it's a great upgrade as long as you don't do a shed load of heavy towing.

to fit the defender top to a disco box you either have to strip box to swap selector shaft and yoke or get one of these from ashcrofts

Well blow me, I always thought that the input shaft and bellhousing were different between the two. Every day's a school day
