Hi hope you dont mind me asking, was the Isuzu engine any good as you said you wanted "more refined" or just got fed up with all that power, many thanks

Hi Clayton, haha, all that power may be missed more so the torque I think.
The engine is noisy as its really an industrial unit, quite thirsty, the choice of gearbox is limited LT95 only 4 speed, LT 85,5 speed but difficult to find a good one and spares are getting rare, R380 costly to convert and not recommended due to the torque of the engine. I was looking at upgrading the turbo which then leads to fitting an intercooler etc , etc but then a 300tdi and R380 came up at a reasonable price so I thought I'd just take it back to standard-ish, it was originally a V8 back in 1989!! |

Provisionally sold the engine and gearbox once it's removed but if it falls through I can let you know.
