I think he has a GM truck, and he wants to put in a Volvo F408 6cyl
Turbodeisel also used in a boat, but then it's called a TMD40. It is a 3.6
liter, 130 horsepower, max RPM is 4000. In order for the engine to fit in a
GM, the oljetråget(???) must be rebuilt, the oil filter is moved and the
engine's water cooled oil cooler radiator be replaced with a common air
cooled oil cooler. The starter is from a 300D Mercedes.
In the kit the engine mounts have to be built according to the construction
description.
Ltd Swedish vehicle inspection approves switching to diesel, but then
it is the consumers responsibility to contact the inspectors before taking
on the task.
The kit contains the following parts:
- Adapter plate, 15 mm thick.
- Startkrans (flywheel?) as aspect converting verge is screw in.
- adapter that is set in the end of the crank arbor in order to screw
something?
- adapter for air cooled oil cooler
- Instructions with text, pictures, blueprints.

"oljetråget" is oil pan.
"Startkrans" is flex plate
The last section of the text would actually read more something like this:

I had sort of lost sight of the translation and am glad someone else took
the ball.
Sounds like an interesting project anyway.
I don't know if you could ever get this past the Statens Vegvesen in Norway.
They make it really hard to do anything like this. Sweden is a bit easier,
I think.
