Hi guys,
I'm new here but have a question re engine swaps. I'd really like a diesel Paj, early nineties (all my budget will allow) but they seem very scarce.
What are the problems with getting a petrol 3lt vehicle (as they are in resonable supply and cheap) and dropping a diesel in. (probably a Jap import)
Questions -
Can a diesel bolt onto a 3lt gearbox for instance or will I require both engine and box? (I understand that diesels only seem to come with manual box)
What about the transfer case, will it be alright?
I know the engine mounts will probably need adjusting or new ones welded in as have a similar swap years ago to an early ToJo.
Thanks in advance. There seems to be some amazing advice on this forum.
