Engine Conversion - Where can I get it done?

Post by GU Pootrol »

G'day all,

As I have finally killed the little 2.8 in my Patrol, I am looking for somewhere reputable in Melbourne that would be able to rip it out and replace it with the 4.2 turbo diesel. I am looking for a drive in, drive out conversion as my mechanical knowledge does not extend quite that far.

Can anyone shed some light on what sort of cost I would be looking at, what is actually involved and recommend some decent places that can do the work.

Thanks

Adam.
