Hi I looking for good idea conversion engine What should I do with this problem? Thanks for help Grzegorz > Hi > I looking for good idea conversion engine > What should I do with this problem? > Thanks for help If you're in Australiasia then the Holden 6 cyl petrol. If you're in the UK then maybe a Jaguar engine. If you want diesel then untold options that work well - Nissan LD28; Toyota 13B, 13B-turbo, 14B; Mitsubishi 4D31; the horrible Perkins.

The Toyota 13B/13B turbo is a better bet - no glow plugs, an extra 700cc, about 30% more power and they last a *lot* longer (I've got one done 350,000km and counting in a motorhome).

Where would you get conversion plates for all these engines? Bearing in mind that the 2.6 has a different bellhousing to a 2.25, so a conversion plate for a 2.25 won't fit anyway.

Sell as a complete unit or just the engine and adapter. Any offers? Steve >> >> Where would you get conversion plates for all these engines?

Any offers? Not for me, thanks. I don't like oil burners. I'm after someone who can make me a custom adaptor plate to mate a GM 6cylinder to a IIa box.

I would have been interested, I'm an ex-tractor fan ;-) Lee D > > I just asked because I've got a Perkins 3.3 road diesel (not ex-tractor) > > mated to a 2.6 series box.
