Roofy needs our help ..... Can the forum come to the rescue !!!!

[Bob]

I spoke with roofy, earlier, regarding the engine, and he is happy to go with what we decide. I still want to talk with Andy, before I confirm with the supplier, as I don't want to step on any toes.

Can someone with the expertise give an estimate of costs in addition to the Motor.

[mudnut]

Clutch kit , maybe. Fluids gaskets, tune, rear engine seal and welsh plugs. Is all I can think atm . He has the fuel pump and all the hoses etc on the vehicle

I have been on the phone with the supplier of the engine and they have given me a number of options but do not want to do anything until all options are on the table with an idea of costs and positives and negatives.

Also waiting till i talk to more tech savvy members in regards to options.

We just need to raid Rossco's joint when he's not home and take something of his....

im in send me details

[Bloodyaussie]

Just please note that I am not the decision maker with this whole process and am far from the expert when it comes to zd30's or if a TD conversion is at all viable.

I am just putting the case forward and instigating what is needed to get the ball rolling.

There is no super rush so we need not make hasty decisions.

I was made another offer on top of the current offer .....

This is the offer so far from a 4x4 wreckers (will name them soon)

A ZD30 with a rebuild about 40,000km ago (cannot confirm parts used) for $1000 there is a turn key warranty only.

Then there is a ZD30 that was the owners son inlaws and they know more history and will do it for $1750 still only a turn key warranty.

Now I have not looked into any other options being rebuild or TD conversion or 2nd hand engines from elsewhere.

$3500 was raised when I went through hell 15 months ago and can only use that as some sort of gauge.?

I have not spoken to more tech savvy as yet as I have been flat out and have a school music thing on tonight so still wont get a chance.

Now there are the facts at this stage to be seen by all.

F$#k its hot.
