I hear about lots of conversions using the Isuzu 4JB-1 2.8L engine. Has anyone used the newer 4JG2 -Turbo 3Liter engine used in the Isuzu Bighorns? Bigger and newer is better -- right? Actually I am rather ignorant about all the size versus power to weight ratio and all that. So really appreciate some help here.

Hi everybody, I just got myself a 110 Station wagon that has not been running for the past 4 years or so. Its a complete vehicle with the 2.5 non-turbo engine and the LT77 gearbox. Thinking of doing an engine swap and from what I read in the forum, Isuzu engines are real popular. I have a choice of the 4JB1 2.8 or the newer 3 liter Isuzu Bighorn 4JG2 to couple on to the original LT77. Appreciate it very much if anybody out there can give me some advice please? Thanks.

Hi Fridge. Do you know anyone who has put in the entire Nissan SD33 engine, gearbox and axles? Would like to contact him.

Just bought my first Land Rover. A complete 110 station wagon, abandoned for the past 3-4 years but with all the bits still intact. With a non running 2.5L 4 cylinder diesel and a LT77 gearbox. So I'm planning to do a Japanese transplant cos here in Malaysia, Japanese engines are a dime a dozen, so to speak. Now starts the confusion.My LR buddies here swear on their grandmother's grave that Toyota or Isuzu or Nissan or (whatever they have in their LR) is absolutely the best. Not counting those purists who won't talk to me anymore because of my blasphemous tendencies of putting a Japanese engine into a true British blue blood. Here are the engines available to me -- Nissan SD 33 non turbo 6 cyl.diesel (I also have the axles and gearbox for this model), Nissan TD 27 2.7L and BD30 2.9L. Isuzu 4JB1T or Isuzu 4JG2T, Toyota 3LT or a Mitsubishi 4DRS. I intend to reuse the original LT77 gearbox. Please anybody out there, help me clear my confusion.Thanks.
