Then there was the exhaust system, electrics and all the rest needed for the conversion which would have been another 5-8k on top.
    If your going to build a new motor, be prepared to spend around 20k if you want a powerhouse. I spent more and probably should have looked at a Brunswick conversion but I had TD fever so I didnt even think of looking at anything else.
    I think I'm gonna have to agree with Mudski on this one because I've got the td fever. It will be easy to engineer as it was an option from factory.

    Currently own a ZD30 2000 GU patrol with a dead injector pump about to start a build on a TD42 motor to go in the car and basically rebuild the whole car into a machine of a rig
