Yeah mate, my father fitted a rebuilt 12HT in his 1989 75 series troopy back in 2006, I inherited it 3 years ago and is my daily driver, I can pick his brain for you about the build, it was pretty strait forward. The accelerator cable and twin fuel tanks were a hassle from memory but all the kinks were worked out long ago. Its an awesome combination.

Hey Mousie why dont you drop tinys 6.5lt in it he has the complete setup running ready to blot in ????

[Mousie]

hmmm that is another option but i dont have much faith in that motor and that means engineering which i dont want to do

[tim753]

Yeah it was a clean swap, all mounts lined up, gearbox bolts up without a hassle. Like you said, some fuel plumbing and the cut off is different, It took him longer than a weekend but he only worked on it during afternoons and slow days at the workshop. You'll be happy with it, mines running a mitsubishi turbo and 14 psi, happily hums along the hume at 120 on my trips from Albury to Sydney.
