If it was a turbo engine the pipe would be the oil return pipe from the turbo going into the sump

didnt wanna start a new thread so can anyone help with engine transplants etc

what i wanted to know
was what engines fit into the 84 model jackaroo's
whats the best engine combo to do?

was weighing up my options whether to replace the 2litre with the ex turbo engine (rebuilt) or looking for alternatives.

any help appreciated

Might want to check the compression of the ex turbo engine. May have been decompressed to work with the Turbo....
