Diesel Swap? Help!

Post by Purist »

So...just noticed some serious puddling of oil under the old Rocky ('91 rocky/feroza se 1.6l). Therese a chunk out of the bellhousing of the tranny! how did that happen...
Anyway, the seals were gettin bad, the engine a bit old (200g).

Thinking about an engine/gear swap. Possibly to a diesel? perhaps the RV 2.8 Intercooled Turbo diesel. You guys are the pros, let me know what would be best, most price effective. Perhaps just buy a new rig.

Thanks, Dan

Good luck, the weight is a major issue. You are looking at around 450+kg for a 2.8 plus gearbox and transfer case. Compare that with the alloy motor/gearbox/transfer case of the Feroza, and you have your first issue to beat.
