Hi Adam
The motors are the same,the main difference is in the carby setup,some SDI were EFI,a disco or rangie EFI will also swap!!!!
I think the Stage 1 has a lower ratio transfercase than a rangie,swaping the gearing would give you better on road performance/economy.

Some of the car engines are high compression.

From memory the timing cover/water pump need to be swapped as well.
