Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I've got a '93 L200 K34T (MH model in Aussie?) that has a tired 2.5td in it.
It's got me thinking......can a V8 fit?

So just after ideas really at this stage.

What engines, and what trans/transfer set up was used?

Cheers

Or do I just repower using a Pajero V6??

It depends where you want to regiester the vehicle. If it is in NSW (and probably a lot of other states - why do we have separate laws and procedures for each state? - now you have got me started!), you would have to get the thing "engineered" if you went for a V8. If you go for a V6, the RTA probably wouldn't even blink an eye, although they may have an indirect check via the engine numbers. Years ago, it was easier. If you use Mitsubishi V6, it should be a lot easier. If you went for a Commodore V6, the vehicle would go like hell, but you may have trouble registering it. All the best....

He's located in NZ, so cant really comment on the laws. Im going to do it one day but an LS1 or 2 would be my choice

v8 would be insane.

I am near finished a l67 factory supercharged commodore v6+auto engine swap into my shorty nh,

The ls1 would be the obvious choice for a v8 jero as the v6 and v8 use the same box, so adapters are available.

would sound so good.

Sounds good. V8 it will be
LS1 from a dunnydoor & trans? and an adapter for the transfer? Who makes them?

Get your tape measure out mudbugger, and hope the l200 is longer than the pajero, as the pajero engine bay is short as.

Sick01, start a thread on your vehicle please with pics.

hey guys, good luck if u go ahead with an ls1 conversion, ive converted mine to a com v6/auto, and blown a transfer case and rear diff! second transfer case is from a v6 mits, and thats on its way too! dont know how your conversion is going to hold up! there are a number of people who do kits and adaptors, but keep in mind a 'kit' isnt made to fit like factory, theres always an issue, and believe me, i went through it! And as for engineers, sump needs 10mm clearance and 15mm clearance from any suspension components., this is in Melbourne, not too sure what other states require. hope this helps you a little?

Use 3.5 parts .. the 3.5 is 140 to 150Kw motor with 300ish Nm of torque .. the 3.8 commy motor is 120 to 130 ish with 280Nm of torque (ecotec motor)

may be 1UZ from toyota?

earlier commdore v6 have 125kw@4800rpm-292nm@3200rpm, ecotecs start from 147kw@5200rpm-305nm@3600rpm, with the help of a turbo bolted to its side, well....endless! my opinion, i would do holden conversion, cheaper parts, and u could get parts pretty much anywhere
