    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.
