Saw this ad and wondered how much of a headache it is to convert and transplant, also is the gearbox compatible?

How long is the MOT and is it a genuine giveaway?

as it says on the tin mate ..... free to collector!!

I still hanker after the TD extra performance for when it's needed but in estate form, a windfall like DLM's estate would have been nice but transplant surgery may be my only option. At 95k the engine has just about been run in (assuming it's kosher) but I would like to find out more of the practicality of the pipedream project.

eeeer, should this post be under technical rather than chat perhaps?

We can make it fit! My engine cranes been on part time hours lately.....
Time for it to have some excercise

The 405 gearboxes need modding if you run a HP pump the runs off the cam....the main control linkage into the box is at a different angle to a BX one, it either needs changing over or blow torching til its red hot, smacking with a big hammer and bending with a pair of Stilsons.

Jobbed!

methinks me should see if this motor is still available, and if so get Jon and Chris to convince SWMBO of it's merits
