Gen2 Conversion to diesel

Hi.

I want to convert my blister paj to a diesel. The one is already a V8 with a lexus and it is time to do the second one. This time I am looking into a diesel. 3.2 would be nice but unless I can get a DID for R10K I wont go that route. Any other suggestions? 2.8 is also way too costly at R19K for imported motor. The 2.5 TD looks like a option. Imported motor goes for R9500. The gearbox should fit or be exchangeable for one that does fit. The main idea for this one would be to use as a economical everyday runner. I had a corsa but due to the ever increasing safety risks we face on the road every day it has been retired. To replace it I need a good economical Pajero. Will handle the pot holes and occasional taxi :twisted: way better than the corsa :lol:

Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Have you tried "Part Hunt" for an engine?

Di-D for R10k? Not likely.

4m40 - Mmmm? I would not.

4D56 - maybe the latest CR engine, but the old injector pump? NOT!

Stick an Isuzu 2.8 DTi in there. Simple electrics, reliable as anything, and economical too.
