I've just emailed the Unc so hopefully I can let you know if he has a 2.7L or 4.0L and his first-hand opinion of it soon. It is a big rig that he tows though so wouldn't be surprised if it's the 4.0L.

Gong him Red!!
I have a Terry Wagon ('13 TZ Series 1) with the diesel engine as my daily.
Very, very nice drive, great torque, smooth and quiet gives me 8.0 LPH around town.
Wouldn't put it in a 'Trol tho
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
I've read that this same engine has been used in other vehicles, I haven't heard too many people complain about their discos (apart from the fact that theyre landies in disguise) and Ive seen plenty of X5's get up and go...
Yes the patrol may be 400 kg heavier than a Terror, but then, it put out a few more kW than the standard gu donk too and the extra torque is worth some praise...
The way that I look at at it, if the engine doesn't have the same grenade properties as the ZD and you can tune them a bit to make them better, isnt a more reliable, more powerful engine something worth considering?
If not, what other V configuration diesels are out there to use (apart from the Toyota 200 series donk?)
'05 ST-S with a nice tint and LOTS more to come...
Evil Twin, Why not (specifically)?

The 3.0 V6 diesel that comes in the jeep. I believe it is built by vm mottori. Banks diesel in the states are doing some impressive things with this motor.
I was thinking more along the lines of something that is not so "late model" (read: cheaper)
'05 ST-S with a nice tint and LOTS more to come...
Its not that new
Okay, I'll check 'em out...

G'day Bisket, I very well are out of touch with modern day ADR engine swap compliance but in our heyday Chevy's say for example still needed an approved kit into their new homes. As a young bloke I had my heart set on a G60 with 302or351 or even 250 crossflow but found it easier to ADR kit up a 308/350 in an FJ :-( because legal kits were available at that time!
Please excuse my ignorance but this swap sounds pretty paperwork tricky :-( !
Cheers mate!
