Getting the 5pd gearbox and transfer case aswell. Then either run the rear drive shaft at a funny angle. Or fit GQ axles.

To the best of my knowledge, to join it to a MQ gearbox, would all be custom.

would it not be easier and probably cheaper in long run to buy a GQ?

for all the hassle, wouldnt a Chev implant be better? say 383 or 350?

mmmmmm chev power

yeh TD42 conversion would involve the GQ box and transfer as well with associated driveshaft angles.

You would have to make custom gearbox mounts, Modify ur floor pan to fit the gear shifters, new engine mounts, new radiator plus mounts all new feul and electrics and wiring.

much smarter to either go V8, buy a GQ.

screwy

Upgrade to a GQ diesel, much better option
leave the CHEV to the '0' mile per galloners, if you want to travel this great land.

gas conversion....

Dellow sells a kit for a GM 6.2/6.5L v8 diesel mated to a Nissan Cabstar 5spd tranny. The GM motor tuned and modded right will rock big time....Cabstar tranny is supposed to be bomb proof. Together I would rather have this combo in any P-troll over the TD42 or any big block or small block petrol v8.

Simply put...I don't think you can get much better than a correctly tuned/fitted 6.5L GM diesel and a Cabstar 5spd. That is of course if you want a diesel & m/t...

I have a cabstar 5 speed you can have for $200 but it does need a bit of work

you serious!?

Cost me 3x that to ship it but hey why not! So what is wrong with it? Why do you have it laying around? What did you use it for? You do know I am in the USA right!? It is not a prob to ship it by sea, I do this stuff all the time. I can send you cash.

PM me or whatever...please.

For you it is probably not worth it. But for someone local maybe, it needs a new input shaft and gear cluster Gearbox guy quoted me about $1400 to fix, has a Dellow V8 bellhousing adaptor with it.

it is worth it to me...I will buy it anyways. I can get the parts. And what v8 bellhousing is it?

PM me or I will be pm'in you.
