This is the plate on the back of the transmission. The mount goes on the rectangle with 4 holes.

 

Really wanted to see the twin turbo build..........i'd drive down there just for that. I'm right around Giants Stadium!

 

Great thread! Really interesting to follow!

 

Keep it coming RoverMasterTech, it really is taking shape. I love diesels .................. more reliable and low stress = less work and more miles per $$$ spent.

 

I must have missed it, but what year disco is the project taking place on?

 

This looks awesome keep the details coming.
And for anyone that has not tried this and thinks it can't be done, please go fly a kite.
When do we get to here about HP and torque ad-ons for the Merc engine?

 

Update. It's back on the lift and going together. I cut up the rear transmission plate so I could use the stock drivers side mount to hold the transfer box. A 3rd transfer box rear mount will be fabbed up once I know what angles will work the best. The front drive shaft will JUST clear the transmission pan once everything is bolted together. The steering box is also a tight fit. The engine has tons of room between the diff and oil pan. I cut the rear mount off of the transmission only to find the mount casting is hollow, I now have a hole in my transmission I need to fix. The rover shaft came back from the machine shop and will now slide into the Mercedes drive shaft. I hope to finalize the mounts and the output shaft today. I had to delay working on it due to my wife's car eating a lifter and destroying the cam.

I took it for a short ride around the block today.

Lots of stuff to button up still, but at least it runs and drives.
