Sorry mate, can't help with the conversion, when you get a chance please drop past the introduction thread found here: http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/forumdisplay.php?2-Introductions

and tell us a bit about yourself and your rig.

Cheers

I've heard these motors aren't the most reliable of things........ we see plenty converted trols come up for sale in WA, so must be a reason. Id be sticking with the 4.8 til it dies mate, thirsty it may be but a dam sight cheaper to run than the cost of getting it converted to the chevvy

Tap tap tappity crap

6.2 and 6.5 diesels have massive strength problems with thier blocks even in n/a form. if you were thinking v8 diesel then save your pennies and go duramax.
