BJ42 to V8 conversion
Hi guys, anyone converted a diesel 40 series (BJ42) to a Chev or other V8 small block with the 4 speed tojo box?

MORE POWER, ARRG ARRG ARRG!
i thought it would be easy to do too, its only taken about 5 months.
altho i removed the petrol all together and fitted gas.
4.11s are ok. bit revvy tho specially with a 4 spd on highways. fit 35s to fix this.
cheapest/easiest way is to buy a heap of shit with a chev/whatever and pull the bits off that and adapt them to yours. i got a chev, all adaptors, 2 diffs (1 is LSD), 2 gas tanks, powersteering (all from a 60 series) for 750 bucks. shouldda seen the bog on that thing tho.

conversion
mate did you end up finding the dude in the tradingpost at maito who had the conversion kit and bell housing??
Got a ex diesel BJ42 (5sp - 83 model) with a 308, works beaut off road and on road. No probs with standard BJ42 diffs and 35's. TonkaTuff has a 307 in an ex diesel (4sp) and thats fine to. We actually changed his G'box the other day after he bugger his old 4sp - heavy bastards - get a crane
In the UK, greenies picket against 4wd's - start killing greenies NOW before they take power!!!
