thanks,has any one in this forum ever done this as its gonna cost me if i,m wrong. but i agree with 6g74,s comment.

Physically it shoudl bolt straight up to the box, the mounts may be different, if you could check this you may save some muckin round. Worse case you may have to fabricate somethign, all the same id be confident for it to be a fairly easy job

Update

I found a place on the web called ?Engines plus? in Cheltenham, and took my Pajero there. Steven quoted me $2550 for a low mileage Jap import engine, plus $750 installation cost. I was shown the engine running on the test bench. All the vitals looked good.

What,s wrong with the old motor?did you blow it or did you do something to the head? A jap motor [import] here in Brisbane costs about $3000 and another $500 to fit it,if buying a 2nd hand motor make sure they do a compression test,if engines are us cant do it ,find someone who can before you commit.the imported motors have to use an aussie fuel pump as the jap ones will start leaking in a couple of weeks,something to do with theyre fuel standards are different to ours,

Remember, a low milage Japaneses engine could have the same 'running time' as the one you are replacing due to their traffic conditions.

You can get a kit from these people and rebuild the motor yourself for alot less money.

Suggestions and Questions

Might sound a little iffy but there have been a couple of brand new 4D56T engines floating around on ebay.com.au lately... costing round about $3600 +$100 delivered.
Been thinking about it myself lately, but an engine rebuild might be a cheaper option, depends on what actually went wrong with your existing motor.

I have been having a little trouble with my 4D56T at the moment, I'm in the process of rebuilding it from the ground up, just took the stock turbocharger in to get serviced and received a call today from the repair center quoting over $590 for a rebuild.
If anyone has the specifications or suggestions on replacement turbochargers or where I can get my hands of a good 2nd hand turbocharger please let me know.

Cheers,
Luke
