Okay, what other V config DIESELS might be suitable a s a transplant?

What about my fave 2-stroke 8V92T from the old Dennings I used to drive! Mmmmmmmm..............

Joke, dismiss.

4.2TD :-) Our family cruiser 'Trol'rocks as near stock :-) ! Rossco, and many other NP gurus are running same, yet they're now throwing 12mm pumps and Borg's under hood to Kw/Nm peak em beyond belief :-)
Legally, still sweet :-) ?

Evil Twin, Why not (specifically)?

It has more electrics hanging off it than the Space Shuttle even the power steering.
You'll need to build/mod/fab/bodgy everything starting from A for Accelerator pedal
The extra weight will take a lot of the edge off the performance, fuel etc.
The tranny to engine match is pretty important to get right so the Patrol box and ratios may be an issue.
I don't even have the foggiest how the mounts etc will line up or whether a 'full' power train transplant would be better/easier.
You will need a pretty good cheque book to cover the fabrication costs and engineering certification.

Firstly I have no idea what I'm talking about.
Secondly, what about the v6 diesel Volkswagen engines?
Thirdly, I have no idea about these things.

Lol. I only said the 53 series as you only need 8-10 inches of body lift to shoehorn it in lol.

Ahh! The old Bird scarer engine. All noise and no go. Good old days.
A mate of mine was running the 6V92 in his old truck a Fibreglass cab Atkinson I think i was. He used to have tin cans all strung up under his motor to catch all the oil from the all the leaks it had. Lol the memories.

Fair enough there are a number of points that you have raised that may be issues, but how much different is it from putting a LS in? (and people put themin quite often..)

Hence why I am still looking and asking questions...

The VW diesel engines may be another point to consider!

Any particular engine designator?
