#6.5NA $30k -‘ish’
#6.5T $35k-‘ish’
#6BT & 6.6Duramax $50k-‘ish’
More than happy to be corrected and many more conversion possibilities out there but one must consider readily available adaptation kits and engineers sign off comfort needs too!

6BT can be done for less that half of 50K MB. Unless its a full rebuild with everything new... A customer of mine just finished his GU 6BT conversion. Paid 7k for an import motor from the UK, spent another 6'ish putting it in and engineered. The motor lasted 2000k and the seller from the UK shipped a whole complete motor to him for nothing. Going strong now and god does it go!

Found a place that starts at $35k for a 5.9 common rail DIDO engineered for swap only. Any weight issues are yours.
I have been chasing up a conversion place in SE Qld, this place seems to be spot on with their work. Just getting a more formal quote.

I have a customer who did his own 6BT conversion. Cost him $16k give or take a thou. And a lot of headaches. He loves it but has said it’s no longer able to be a real 4wd. Far too front end heavy now. But as a tourer, balls to the wall. Were his words.

im in the process of sorting out a 6bt conversion , 6bt should only be about 60kg heavier that td42 , i should have mine over a weigh bridge in a few weeks , $30k is around the drive in drive out cost depending on transmission etc

I think the Cummins 4.5 should be on this list. It is just about a drop in fit and has plenty of horses.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
