Kia Sportage

[LaRa]

Hi,

I am owning a KIA sportage 96 model petrol Jeep. I have an idea to convert it to diesel and I need to clarify few things.

Heard that Mazda R2 engine is perfectly mach with the mounts and the existing 4X4 gear box.

or do i have to replace the gear box & engine both?

If i found a KIA Sportage diesel engine, can it be fixed to the existing 4X4 gear box without any hassle?

Spoke to RMV & they said that i will have to use the same number with the D sign on the plate.

Please help me to claryfy this with your valuble ideas & experiance.

Thanks
