  I used a Ser III gearbox.  There was no problem with the tranny =
mounts.  To use the Ser I transmission, I would have had to change the =
bellhousing.

    Thanks a bunch.

      Having done it, yes, you can fit a 2-1/4 litre engine into a '57 =
Ser I without modification of the nounts.  Remember, the 2-litre diesel, =
which uses essentially the same block as the 2-1/4 litre petrol, was =
available in the late Ser. I's.  There is an issue with the lower =
radiator hose, however.

        Hi fonts of knowledge post 1953.

        Can anyone tell me whether the chassis brackets for the engine =
mounts of a '57 SWB are in the same location relative to the gearbox as =
the chassis brackets of a Series 2 / 2a 2283cc Land Rover.

        I guess the same question could also be asked: "can you fit a =
2283cc Series 2 /2a engine with standard engine mounts straight onto the =
chassis brackets in a '57 SWB without having to alter either the chassis =
brackets or the engine mounts?=20

        Cheers
        Diana   :-)))

        P.S.  It's not an 80" bit of knowledge so why would I know!!!
