Not sure. These peeps will be able to advise. I guess the ird connection will be the difficult part. MG-Rover.org Forums - Powered by vBulletin

A engine is a engine, all the same, Now the difference will be bell housing torque convertor starter ring etc .
so to make it easy just change the parts from your engine to new engine.Take lots of pic for references and mark things to how it goes. good luck

Hope you don't mind me chucking my sixpence worth in , i have changed an auto engine for a manual engine in my distant past albeit not a landy you will probably find on the manual engine at the rear of the crankshaft it has a spigot bearing, for the manual gearbox output shaft to sit in you will have to remove it as it is not required for the nipple on the back of the torque converter.i believe the nipple is used to centre the converter onto the crank...
