yeah, ill be off roading it,, ive beeen using a diahatsu 2.8 n/a engine before, and i cant really fault it, except it really does need all 4 pistons to stay attached to the conrodsfor best performance. other than that its fine.
cheers

so what exhaust do you use ?
and what about the clutch?
also what alternator do i use.? ( i take it this has a built in voltage regulator)

done this ages ago...use tranny downpipe fabricated to same bore pipe and a big freeflow silencer (small truck one maybe) you decide where it goes...I got mine coming out the nearside just ahead of rear wheel...use s3 diesel clutch..kit from engine conversions tells you this amongst other stuff...use brass spiggot bush in kit for flywheel...any transit alternator will do...best advice I can think of is to get lots of soundproofing!!!this is a noisey engine best of luck...Steve
i used the transit flywheel with the S2A clutch, i had to slightly enlarge the bolt holes to make it fit. I used the land rover alternator with transit pulley.
advice....... make sure u got ALL the parts for the air filter housing inc the 'trumpet'! it will be REALLY noisy if u dont. i waterproofed all of the filter housing and made a snorkle to go on the end of the trumpet and up the screen.
USE the transit plate that sits between the gearbox and engine and MAKE SURE u spend time making it fit the conversion kit properly! i didn't and had to rebuild the starter a few times where it got caked in mud!
erm.... remove the osf engine mount thats welded onto the chassis
just found the PDF that comes with the conversion!!! if u email me markcoe69AThotmailDOTcom i'll send it 2 u!
