It has crossed my mind to put a 4.2TD in my Mav.Will the diesel block bolt to the manual bellhousing from the 4.2 carby block???
What about exhaust???
Thanks

The bell housings are different.
Exsaust should fit.

the only difference in bellhousing is an extra hole for the starter which can be easily tapped

o.k. fair call.
Well then,if i unbolt the bellhousing from a diesel manual will that bolt to the gearbox of a petrol motor.
REASON: i dont want to have to change the gearbox and trasfer case if i dont have to.

The gearbox is the same, so if you get a diesel bellhousing it will bolt straight onto the petrol gearbox without any worries

I just did a search and thought i would bring this old thread back to life.
I have been considering doing a manual conversion after i blew my auto up recently and can get a GU TD42T manual box and bellhousing. After reading this thread i believe i can just drill and tap an extra hole to fit to my TB45 engine.
BUT then i read this thread, which says they are different. And then to confuse me more a friend told me the TD42 starter motors are in different positions.
