Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've got a 720 4x4 ute & have been told that a Mitsubishi 2.6 Sigma eng. will go straight in, has anybody done this? If so, how easy/hard was it?

Quite possible, never thought to check!

Thanks for your post mate, you're right it has been a while & sadly the project had to be put on the backburner for now for various reasons but am still hoping to go ahead in the near future although I've decided to stick with the L28 & pump some steroids into it instead!

Items needed replacing anyway! Guess I was in denial, I so didn't want it to be a headgasket but, as you say it more than likely is!

Would get a new 1 in a heartbeat but no $ (pensioner)! Sadly no fire & theft ins!

New dizzy cap & rotor arrived from Japan today & I fitted them but that's not the problem, still the same! Back to the old drawing board!

Can't access equipment locally for leakdown, but have compression tester. Called 2 Sprint stores today in search of cap & rotor, was told 1stly, that my engine didn't exist, there was no such thing as a Z22 engine & when I insisted that there is, I know because I have 1 I was told that neither Bosch ...

Yes, L28E! The EFI systems found on a number of vehicles utilizing the L28 will apparently fit my head! So am looking in that direction!

Thanks to everyone, some of those things have crossed my mind also, have some spares, will give them atry before going any further! Gave it the chemiweld treatment, made no difference, had a look at dizzy cap, pretty worn, good candiate, for replacement, worth a go! still no real symptoms of ...

Got an '84 720 4x4 pickup Z22 motor! appears to be only running on 2 cyls, pulled leads off 1x1 with motor running, 1&2 the engine stopped 3&4 MADE NO DIFFERENCE! Tried new plugs, leads, points have correct gap, timing ok, no wires or hoses off or broken so nothing obvious! No other symptoms, Not ...

Have found that out also, have elected not to go ahead, have decided to pump some steroids into my L28 instead!

After doing a lot of research into an RB30 conversion for my MQ, have opted to stay with the L28 & just pump some steroids into it! I remember seeing a thread from a guy who had fitted the EFI system from a VL to his L28 somewhere (with pics) but am buggered if I can find it again! Can any body help?

Getting excited about this, found a guy on another forum who has done the conversion, he said it was fairly cheap & simple! just had to drill out top bolt holes on standard MQ 4-speed bellhousing as they didn't quite line up, & modify engine mounts! he says the most expensive part was getting the ...

My apologies, after having checked VL specs you are all absolutely correct, engine would have to be an RB30!

[Thanks to everyone! Will ask my mate again what the engine he has is! sure he said RB25, is EFI!color=orange][/color]

I have an '84 MQ KM160 & am thinking of replacing my L28 with an RB25 from a 1988 VL Commodore, has anyone out there done or know of anybody who has done this conversion? If so, what does it entail, how hard is it? Is it expensive? Alternatively, What about a P40? Are they any good? Same questions ...
