Diesel swap: help needed

Your Swap comes with :
Engine
At transmission

What you're seeing in the picture is the 4WD shift lever, not the 5-speed lever.

Our experience here in Aussie, is to avoid the 3.1L diesel engine if you can.
The earlier 2.8L diesel turbo makes the same amount of power if the fuel pump is tweaked, and is far more reliable, uses less fuel, and has less turbo failures.

But can it be mated to the AR-5?

And what do you know about the 4JX1 3.0L diesel? According to Wikipedia it superseded the 4JG2 3.1L in 1998 but was more "problematic."

200 tdi or the 300 tdi wouldn't be to bad but might run you a lil bit more cash.

they are the 4 cyl diesels out of the range rovers, I have been eye balling them for a while.

here is a link to a sight that got me interested in the motor but I'm sure they can be found cheaper than that.

so I got an email back from http://www.landroverimport.com

a good used 300 tdi with auto trans and transfer radiator, oil cooler, and intercooler would be 4k and a rebuilt would be 6k

When I was dong research I disovered this: http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showth...4BT-Conversion

Closest I could find. I also spoke with a local builder who was wrapping up a 4BT in a Land cruiser. The biggest issue with these engines is that they are much taller than even a small block V8. But they're the perfect engine for a VX IMO. Good luck!
