Engine conversions?

[chunky73]

Hi again
I recently posted about the posibility of fitting a chevy V8 Td into my mk5 camper project but as great as that would be i have to stay on planet earth,
so does anyone know of what other 4cyl diesel units would fit? I was thinking isuzu 3.1, Iveco 2.8, or any other half decent 4 pot
with a bit more go and not a serious amount of electronic barriers to overcome?

300tdi landy? theres a guy up this way with a mk5 with a bmw 525tds engine in it was on here in this section.

whats the 3.1 isuzu out of and is it any good ive seen the 1.7td one oldskoolers trying in a mk1

Hi Luke,
They did 2 sizes in this engine 3.0 and 3.1 but the 3.1 was a much tougher unit
and they both came out of the trooper..
