Heavy heavy and heavy mate. Too much for a Zuk. For the lack of power. If your keen on diesel a turbo diesel gemini motor would be better I think

no comment on weight or suitability
but they use the same block but different crankshaft and pistons. the odd one out is early 2l's which run a different head.

2.4, 2.8 and 3.0 litre versions of same engine. Blocks are only different to allow for bore and stroke differences.

Very heavy as they are all cast iron.
The old Luxy was fun, but with a young family comes great responsibility.
So I swapped it for a 60. Should be able to take the whole mob camping, plus I got an extra gear, 2 less cylinders and A/C.

I have the 5L in an Ln65 single cab.. Very little power but torque is great. Not a chance i would put that much weight in a zuk

Mate I have a 2LT and as much as I love it to death and wont get rid of it, I wouldn't wish it on an one,not on purpose anyway

Probably better off turboing a 1.6 uki motor
