Hi
  I have a mid 49 80 inch, which is a basket case. It had a perkins P3 diesel fitted, with a steel conversion plate to match the original gearbox. It fitted onto the standard chassis engine mounts. I still have the engine, and gearbox(ring pull) but they have not run for many years. The perkins P3 is a 3 cylinder diesel, (not the fastest of vehicles, but interesting). It all fitted very neatly into the 80, with only a small modification to the bell housing for the starter motor.

diesel in their 80 and what are they using?

HI Mick,
It does in an 88". Used the 2.0 diesel brackets to the chassis. I used 
the 2.0 diesel exhaust manifold. If petrol coming out, you do have to 
re-invent the throttle linkage, small problem, easily solved.
