Hi Mele, welcome. :D

A Jap import engine would probably be the cheapest option- either another Feroza engine, an Applause engine (same engine -fits after swapping a few bits over) or there's a Charade Detomaso engine.

The engine is called a HD-E. The Detomaso is the most powerful version with a different cam and EFI computer controlled timing- meaning you'd have to get one with the loom and computer to do the install. But they do output 92kW! :twisted:

Prolly the cheapest and eaiest is to get an Applause engine....a little bit of work swapping external bits over, but pretty easy, and readily available at a decent price. Stock Feroza motor = 70kw, stock Applause motor = 78kw, stock (?) DeTomaso engine = 92kw.

Well i'm sure u can fit plenty of engines to your liking.
If it doesnt fit to the bell housing i'm sure 1 can fabircate an adaptor.

As a rocky owner i would love to fit a Toyota 3 litre turbo diesel 1KZ....
130hp. Impressive eh.

Or the petrol route, how about a 3RZ-FE which i think is a 3 litre V6.

Some links to Toyota Hilux engines.
