I have a 1966 SWB Stationwagon, in excellent condition - re-built on a galvanised chassis by the previous owner. In the six years I have had it, it has given little trouble, and the only real drawback is a Ford V6 conversion, which whilst it gives good power, and makes towing pretty easy, also returns just 12 mpg on a good day....
A friend's Isuzu Trooper, has just failed MOT on body mounts - essentially it is dead. It has a seemingly good engine though - and in the Trooper returned good consumption with good performance. I could buy it for c.£400.
Has anyone any experience/ideas about fitting the engine in a S2a? Are there any kits available? Would the engine marry up with some form of adapter plate to the existing gearbox/transfer drive system?
Thanks to someone....
