get a petrol. they are easier to kill then a Diesel :)


the gearboxes are the same between the Petty and Diesel, so no differences, you need to change bellhousings to take teh V8 if u plan to use the original Nissan box so doesn't matter

buy a 2.8 diesel, worth fuck all, or a blown 3.0 diesel.. both cheap, and plenty around since your not worried about engine and box.
