If you're in Australiasia then the Holden 6 cyl petrol. If you're in the UK then maybe a Jaguar engine. If you want diesel then untold options that work well - Nissan LD28; Toyota 13B, 13B-turbo, 14B; Mitsubishi 4D31; the horrible Perkins.

Daihatsu 2.8 or 2.8 turbo...
The Toyota 13B/13B turbo is a better bet - no glow plugs, an extra
700cc, about 30% more power and they last a *lot* longer (I've got one done 350,000km and counting in a motorhome).On or around Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:08:58 +1300, EMB enlightened us thusly:
yeah, but daihatsus rot like a rotten thing in rottenland, and thus are available cheap, whereas the engines seem to last for ages.
they do have a funny alternator with a vacuum pump on the back of it, or some do.
Where would you get conversion plates for all these engines? Bearing in mind that the 2.6 has a different bellhousing to a 2.25, so a conversion plate for a 2.25 won't fit anyway.

I just asked because I've got a Perkins 3.3 road diesel (not ex-tractor) mated to a 2.6 series box. Sell as a complete unit or just the engine and adapter. Any offers?
Steve
Not for me, thanks. I don't like oil burners. I'm after someone who can make me a custom adaptor plate to mate a GM 6cylinder to a IIa box.
Alex
I would have been interested, I'm an ex-tractor fan
