Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hey guys,
I am looking for a diesel GQ shorty. As you may know, and what we are finding out, is they are a bit rare and hard to come by. We are chasing a late model ('93-'95).

What we are wondering is how hard would it be to transplant a diesel into a petrol model? The fuel tank and lines would have to be changed over, but what else? Is the gearbox, drivetrain, etc the same for both, or do we have to get these as well?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks
Heath

I think u might find it real difficult to find a 94 or later mod shorty


im sure ( i think ) they finished in 93 ?
i think!!?


But if ya lookin id go for a 93 efi petrol auto if a i had the money and could find would of of prob got it :wink:

Just saw the first import up forsale here in Wa it was a 1989 shorty diesal auto looked good to only $14500 from a yard

fuel tank is the same !!!
can reuse petrol fuel lines !!!

drivetrain is the same !!! , just different bellhousing !!!

radiator is different !!
engine mounts are the same !!! I THINK !!!!

worse part of conversion is wiring !!!!


HAVE FUN !!!!!

Heath - It took me quite a while to find my turbo diesel SWB on the Gold Coast.
It's funny how things change - a number of the Winch Challenge guys seem to be going GAS/DIESEL. I think to avoid heating issues and as well as save $ on fuel. They did comment on the change in power spread on Gas.

Peter,
Hi, i am a member of the GC club, and I had a chat to you at last night's meeting. I drive the red Feroza with the lights on the roof... well the missus drives it more than me.. on and off road.

I am chasing a diesel, not necessarily a turbo diesel, but I may aftermarket one later on. I found a petrol one that was perfect, but it's not what I want. Andy had indicated you didnt really pay much for yours initially (but spent heaps since!!), so here's hoping.

Thanks
Heath
