300TDI for my 109
Having struggled with several issues with my SIII 109 and needing to use it as my pickup truck, I thought I'd pull the 3.9 V8 from my rolled 88 chassis and convert the 109 to return it to service. Instead, I now have a 15k mile 300TDI from a MOD Defender, with R380 5 speed (that might have issues), rad and intercooler.
I've been looking at the numerous boards with conversion info, and think that I will use a late SIIA trans with a Fairy OD behind the TDI. Once I sort out the R380, I will consider that swap which will require moving the mounts and a chassis crossmember as I did in the wife's SIIA V8 109.
I'm starting to gather the assorted bits, including a right side engine mounting bracket, but I am concerned about fitting the rad and intercooler with the setback rad panel. I might have to go for the Defender grill and bonnet for adequate space.
