Looking at the bulkhead l assume the gearbox is one side and the engine the other sandwiching the bulkhead to mount the the engine ? Back when I followed f1 it was done on the exhaust bolts on each head if I remember correctly and there's no...
ok ive answered my own question, good old Wikipedia, the petrol V8 in a disco 3 was a ford derived 4.4 lt engine, i dont have one of them so i cant use one so the only question that remains is will a disco 3 transferbox bolt up to a p38 gearbox

ive cut 6" out of the wheelbase of the body to get the wheels in the middle of the arches, front still needs to go down a bit to close the wheel arch gap up a bit,
