Hi folks. Looks like I might have a cracked head in my 1995 3.9v8 I brought back to life a few months ago. I have a 200tdi/5spd combo sitting in another Discovery. So one option would be to just junk the 3.9 and put in the 200tdi.
How many hours should I realistically budget to pull the 3.9/auto and migrate the 200tdi/5spd from one Discovery to another? I'd like to move the manual transmission over as well and I assume it's the best way to do it, but I could leave the transmissions in situ and just move over the engine. I think the ZF auto in my 3.9v8 is in good shape.
I just wonder if this is a job I could do in one weekend of hard effort, or what it would really take. I pulled the 200tdi out of my 110 close to a decade ago with the help of some friends, or rather they did it and I helped. I replaced my bulkhead in my 110 a few years ago, but that's the extent of the sort of work I've done.
Thanks,
- Andrew.
