Thats for a hilux not a cruiser.

Thanks for the comments guys, i had a look at mars adapters and it seems that the 5L conversion is quite expensive.

Im waying up my options here, i have an FJ73 middy with a 3F petrol in it. Converting to Diesel seems to be to expensive. So i am thinking about either a 4.5L petrol from a later model cruiser on LPG or a 5L from a commodore (not gen 3) on LPG What do you guys think, any advise will be taken onboard ...

just did a 12HT into an old 75 UTE took me all of about 6 hrs its not a hard conversion would be easier than 13bt i dont see many factory turbodiesel 73's out there for sale which is what you will have ( a very cool thing) for not much more than a std diesel one all you need for 12 ht conversion is ...

ok i will look into that

i dont really need to change that much..... fuel lines, gearbox, clean the tank out properly, bit of wiring what else is there? i think over a period of a yr or so the diesel will pay its self off as it will be saving me on fuel. as i see it if the approx fuel economy of the 3F is 25L per 100km then ...

so is that a matter of changing the shaft or does that mean a new box, From what i understand it wold be easier to just get a whole new box !

yeh i have also read that the 12H-T is a great engine but a fair bit more expensive to buy and also alot heavier on the juice.

well it was the only decent one in my price range, And i want a diesel more for the fuel economy and torque on a long distance and also the fact that diesels are much better when it comes to water. I found it quite hard to find any diesel middies to tell you the truth, this one is in quite good nick ...

would it be cheaper and more viable to do a v8 conversion?

i just got it yesterday bit soon for that

Hey guys,

I have a 73 middie with a 3f petrol engine, well i want a diesel.
What are the best easiest engine swaps and also the most cost effective, i would like something that wont need engineering.
I dont really mind if its a bit slow.
I dont really want to spend to much

hahahaha, yeh i bet lol

ok cool i dont really know yet but i know that there are some really deep holes around so i wanted to be safe, thanks for the info it is greatly appreciated

yeh thats a given but i am more talking about the dizzy, al the seals and what not.

I have been told that it is in fact possible to fully seal a petrol engine so it can be submerged.

Any one know how or know who does it?
