Hi there,
I owned GQ with a TD42T engine for a few years and I absolutely loved it, however my missus wanted something more comfortable, so I recently bought a GU with RD28 in it. Now I would like to transfer engine + gearbox and diffs from GQ to GU, but I was wondering if I need to do an engineers report or not. I'm fully aware off all the hassle with the engine swap, but after reading several forum boards I got confused - do I need and engineers report for the swap or not? I know that one of the engine mounts in GU is not matching TD42 so it requires a chassis mount modification/welding. One forum board says I need to get it engineered, but other says I don't since TD42T was an engine that was available in GU. Does anyone have any experience with it?
