Diesel swap: help needed

[Chopper]

My yellow 3406 would mostly fill a pickup bed and it's only making about 450 as it sits now....but it will pull a freight train. Torque IS the game.

LOL, my 8V71 puts out about 1000 lbs and is just shy of 400HP. Then again it's a 2-stroke supercharged diesel and QUICK! You can row through the RTO-915 so fast you'd think your arm would fly out of its socket, especially since using the clutch is optional.

Here's a good local deal, in Port Ludlow, WA. Just have to drive thru 6-8" of snow to get to it!

"Isuzu Trooper Diesel 3.1L Turbo 4x4 and auto tranny, very nice - $3200

this Little motor was a 3.1 Liter with inercooler and Turbo. Model 4JG2 50K miles. I bought it on ebay $3500 and had it shipped to my home. I bought new glow plugs ($100) and started it up on the motor stand... she runs great. Was going to put it in a trooper but it cold quicker then I thought it would and won't have time to do the engine swap in spring...

call with questions...

If it had a 5-speed I'd seriously consider it, however the auto tranny would be a great setup for 4-Wheelin'. Tons of clean Gen I & II Troops up here in the PNW with bad engines/trannies for cheap.......ed

If it was off of eBay I'd definitely want to see it running before purchasing. I just cringe when I see the pictures of those poor mills sitting on concrete with half the accessories squished.
