Outer Limits 4x4 Board

G'day.
Looking at buying a 40 but it's got a (filthy) petrol (4.2l 6cyl 2f) motor in it, and I wanna change it for either a
*3.0l 4cly B
*3.4l 4cyl 3b
*4.0l 6cyl 2H
...diesel motor.
Has anyone one done these comversions before? Any problems? Any suggestions as to which one (or a different motor). I'd prefer to mount it to the standerd 1980 4spd (i've got two spares), but i've also got a whole 60 series to pull bits off. Any suggestions/recomendations/beer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
BrEnDo?!?

I converted my 1983 BJ42 to 2H power, it is a big job, and can be quite costly. I would not undertake that process again.

If you are after a diesel powered shorty, mine has 60 series power steering, 60 series gearbox and transfer case and 3" spring lift, with 2" body lift. 33" tyres on 16" rims and two-pac yellow paint. Flares on the rear, no rust, 8 point cage. Good condition seats. etc.

I am in Brisbane and want $5500.

nice work on the sales pitch thrown in there!
very tidy!!!

you were after heaps morethen that before, why didnt you have it this cheap back in October i would have bought it..

but did you have any trouble with 60s power steering arms interfering with the shock or shock mount??
if yeah how did ya get around it??

its spring under now, with stock seats, and everything.. i sold all the big $$ items off, cause of all the tyre kickers and the fags.

Yeah had some issues, im sure ive put pics somewhere on the net.

im sick of answering PMs about it.

probly should do a tech article

then i probly should do some work and get the net at home.

and i probly should start my own business to pay for the internet connection at home, but so lazy

Brendo,

If thats the red forty u picked up from me ur talking about...... It actually had a 253 V8 conversion in it with that gear box in the back. Ive got the motor at my place in the trailer from it and the converion kit is long gone..... My mate said that before the 253 was pulled out about 1 year ago it had been in for about 7 years.
Just try to shed some light on the situation.

Cheers,

Screwy

Brendo,

Are you sure you don't want to have a look at my '83 BJ42 LX, 5sp, P/Steer?. Still waiting for a call back......Otherwise I'll sell you a good 3B motor if you need one.
