Well I don't own a Fergi, (although I am looking around for one) so I am
not an expert but the liners are quoted as the same bore size in mm.
Sorry I am at work and don't have the exact data available.
If you look at a Fergi engine it looks exactly the same as a TR with the same
block, wide fan belt etc.
There is the addition of an injector pump for the diesel version and I assume
that the cylinder head is different on that version.
But I understand there are a lot of common parts between tractor and car
engines.
