Hi Richard,

To be honest I think you would end u in a whole world of pain as many parts for the TD are bespoke to that install given that it is a BMW engine.

It may well be achievable but I should imagine the loom and fuelling would be a nightmare.  :(

I would imagine that most of the engine/front loom is totally different.

Good luck !

Would be a total strip down, might be better to gas the V6
