VH 45 into patrol gq
Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2007 9:20 pm
Got the chance of a Vh 45 engine, clutch kit and adaptor plate to fit to a Gq patrol 5 speed manual gearbox.
So what else is involved with fitting the engine as far as :
Sump standard or modifyed ?
Radiator standard with modifyed hoses or different all together.
Alternator standard VH45 one or custom mounts patrol item.
Power steering pump, patrol or VH 45. standard location or moved.
Can the standard vh 45 computer be used. Or will it require modifying or replacing with an after market item.
Will I need to up grade the fuel pump and fuel lines ?
Will the steer box and various conecting arms etc remain or will they need to be modifyed ?
I assume that the engine mounts will need to be modifyed as will the wiring and the exsaust.
Any input would be great as I would like to know what i'm in for before starting on the project.
