Isuzu 4JB1 td into RRC

Hi all

Just a thought about a conversion i have a 93 RRC 3.9 auto and as you can expect its a tad expensive to run i also have a vauxhall frontera with the isuzu 4jb1 2.8 tdi engine

The question is how easy would it be to put the oil burner into the rangie i know i would need an adapter plate to mate the engine to the box the fronty is a manual box the rangie an auto does this matter ?

What else would i need to do the swap, is there anywhere to purchase a conversion kit

also if an adapter plate allows the diesel engine to fit onto the range rover box would it also allow the V8 to go on the frontera box?

Any help or pointers appreciated

I had the 2.8tdi zuzu in my rangie.
Awesome engine!!
My advise is this DONT match that engine with the auto box.
I found it really gay.
It would change gear before the turbo kicked in and be generally pants, great in lowbox.
I spent a lot of time using the 123d to change gear to get any sort of power from the tdi spescially towing.
You do want a manual box really and get a decent exhaust made up.
I had a naff pipe fabricated to the original exhaust and that was also gay
Got a custom ss job done in the end and made a real difference, then the rrc rotted

Manual box a must
Custom exhaust also a must
that is all I can offer I think
