Hilux motor conversion to Isuzu

I'm looking for any advice and direction for a an idea I have to convert a LN106 Hilux with the 2.8 diesel or maybe even a petrol over to a 3.9 Isuzu diesel.

What we are hoping to end up with is a good condition, live axle, single cab, Hilux with a turboed 4cyl 3.9 Isuzu which should give enough power and torque when needed.

We are trying to set-up for the nomad thing and want to tow a rig like this around with us. If we can achieve this, I think we would have a capable, versatile vehicle with parts not too hard to get.

So any thoughts or direction would be appreciated.

Cheers

Hi dani4JB1T

Thank you, I couldn't find anything like this. This has at least given me hope that it can be done but as with all things mechanical, it's the cost. It's looking positive still atm.

Cheers
