help PETROL TO DIESEL engine swap

Post by adam_coby »

Hey

Can anyone tell me what is involved in swapping a petrol motor from a GQ PATROL to a diesel GQ 4.2. Will it match up to an automatic box or swap auto to manual?

also its on gas any problems due to that

Cheers ADAM

I've done it, massive job.
The wiring is the main killer.

I wouldn't want to do it again.

If you have the time, friends that are good with wiring and can give you a hand and you don't need to get it on the road again asap, do it.

It is definitely more than a weekend job.
