I'm taking the drivetrain out of a 1998 discovery. Going into 1963 FC 101. I'm going to post pictures . try.

So did you pick that up out at the Nevada Test Site? Awesome! Are you going to do dual alternators and batteries to run all the man-cave gear in the back?

Here are the inside photos. I resealed engine and repl headgaskets . before installing the drivetrain.

Unless it's been modified, that would be a 109. The SIIA (as well as the SIIB) FC's were on a 109 chassis.

Have you checked to see what's under the FC? The IIA's came from the factory with Rover diffs, though some had ENV rears. IIB's had ENV front and rear. If they are ENV's you'd be down grading putting disco axles under it.
Even if it's Rover axles you'd probably be better off just putting in HD half-shafts rather than installing Disco axles.
It doesn't look like the original gearbox from the pic.

SIIA FC's in good shape are pretty rare.

I got it wrong when i posted. it is a 109.
I;m going to research the axles. I'm not using the disco axles.
i"ll post some pics of the underside and axles soon.
I'm using the intire disco drive train. and my boss told me that the frt and rear axles have been upgrade with HD axles from rovers north.
