so if the sierra 2.3 diesel is a peugeot engine couldnt you use the parts off it to mate anouther peugeot td engine to the ford type 9 box
its a different casting!! the pug/citroen 1.7&1.9tdi will fit on to a LDV 200 van bellhousing but you may need to fit the lt77 (rover sd1) gearbox.
Ive fitted a citroen tdi unit onto an FSO (diesel) polonez gearbox & propshaft . Things are a bit tight in places but its all fitted into the
standard book chassis with escort rear axle.
good luck

Congrats for a completely meaningless post Mr G.
Doh, now I've gone and done it myself.
