Outer Limits 4x4 Board

i have been searching 4 a 4.5 to do this conversion as my td42 ute is pretty tired but have found a good 2.8. i have heard the drivers side engine mount is the same but the passenger needs 2 be changed.also after information regarding the crossmember i have been told u need 2 keep the td42 crossmember but i would like 2 know if the mounting 4 the crossmember is the same. im concerned because the 2.8 is ment to have a different gearbox. correct me if im wrong any info appreciated. cheers

nnnnnnnnnooooooooooo dont do it.

I don't understand, seems to be a downgrade to me. Get another TD42 or freshen yours up.

Have a look around mate everyone is upgrading to a td42 not down grading. Don't do it. Theres a few second hand td42 getting around.

theres nuthin wrong with me moter i want to put it in a 2.8 gu wagan as u cant find a good td42 wagon under 35k. how is it a down grade a gu wagon is a gu wagon. i dont understand the confusion

Well you didn't ask the question very well did you seeing as everyone who replied thinks you want to replace a 4.2 with a 2.8??? Maybe try asking the question properly like "I want to replace a 2.8 with a 4.2, what's involved?".

yes i know that was my fault. any info greatly appreciated

Awe well that changes things. I thought you wanted to go 2.8 into a 4.2 vehicle. Other way around i see. In that case theres quite a few threads on that topic.

i have tried searching the bible but couldnt find much.

Just done it and its a flamin big job and heavy components.
That said, Im glad I did it
There is swags of info on here and the patrol forum.

can u give me sum more informayion plese wat did u have to do with the engne mounts did u have 2 get an auto sparky 2 do the electrical work. any hassel changing the accelerater 2 cable instead of electronic. cheers 4 the help

I did the conversion into a GQ no no pedal hassles. I have read you need a 4.2 GU pedal assembly - makes sense.
Mount is a simple plate. send me your email and I can send you a drawing of what I did

i have my complete td42 ute 2 steal parts from 4 the conversion. so if the pedal fits up i'll be rite i hope.

good to have a complete donor for sure. GQ and GU gearboxes are different though

i did a 2.8 to a 4.2 convertion in my gq and the gear boxes were different but i dont know about the gu and the passanger engine mount had to be modified

wat di u have to do electrically to get it up and runing iv'e got a 2.8 lined up 2 buy jus confirming everything before i start

the main thing i had to do was change the altinator wireing over but in mine the plugs were the same so it wawws just a matter of taking the cables off the 2.8 and putting then on the 4.2 altinator
