Peugeot 305 TD Conversion - Petrol Engine Removal

Part one of the turbo diesel conversion on my 1986 Peugeot 305 GTX.
This car had the 1.9 XU 8v petrol engine fitted with a Webber 32-34 DRTC carburettor. It is a similar engine to what the 205 GTI would have got, at least the block is, camshafts may differ and of course it did not have fuel injection. The engine never run terribly well, quirks of having an old carburettor and distributor is it was in need of a good tune. I could find no one to tune the carburettor that might have improved it but the iffy running meant that i never really used this car a great deal. The plan is to fit a 1.9 Turbo Diesel XUD9TE removed from a 1993 Peugeot 405 estate, featured in a video i did years ago on this channel. That engine has been fully rebuilt and actually sat for about 2 years in this shed, other projects and life got in the way but finally the 305 is getting the engine it should have always got.

This is the first video in the process, i will try and do a few update videos covering the bits of work required for this conversion. This being my own car i am inclinded to spend a bit more time and effort on the conversion than the recent 205 TD conversion where the owner just wanted it finished as quickly as possible. Therefore the 305 will be getting a front mounted intercooler, the car will also be getting a hydraulic clutch conversion, initially converting the 405 pull type clutch to hydraulic actuation but in the future having a hydraulic clutch lends itself towards accepting a later HDi gearbox for better ratios.

Any suggestions (apart from keeping it original... too late for that now ;) ) as to what to do with this conversion are welcome.
