hi all

i am looking to update my mq patrol with a later model motor like a rb30?.

is there any difficulty with the exchanging of the motors?

will the bellhousing fit??

any other suggestions??

thanks
for your help

ron

unfortunatly no other engine ( straight 6 cylender ) will bolt in anything close to easily expect L28 mq motor and its worse than a P40

U could get an injected petrol L28 from a z series nissan and it would go in easily enough with bellhousing switches etc.....

short of that mate, id be going a V8.

no one makes the adapters etc from the older motors to the newer 6 cylender ones, it would be a one off and big $$$$

screwy

thanks mate

what about if we change motor and gearbox??

ron

Then you're issue is getting it to mate up on the transfer case end. :(

Plenty of options if you're replacing both engine and gearbox - from V6 commodores and EFI 4 litre falcon (cheap options) to v8's... but remember getting everything together at the transfer case end then becomes your issue.

hi
any suggestions as to what might be suitable?

we were thinking about a RB 30 like in the commodore or the skylins.

thanks

Dellow automotive has a adaptor for the ford 6cyl by memorie and thats the only one i know of.

hi
