SHAVED_GORILLA Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 You will need an Isuzu clutch cover and the plate and release bearing from a Range Rover. A modified flywheel input bearing for the engine too. Use all the turbo pipesfrom the isuzu as it makes a much neater job on the cheap. If you havent already got them you will need to make some engine mounts too. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head but will be happy to help with any questions. I am sure if you speak to Jez (dollythelw) he will help you too. He is an Isuzu into Rangie god. SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robhybrid Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 keep a look out for potential radiator hose pipe posibilities. Possibly an electric fan. I made the izusu throttle cable fit, but I seen it done with a RR throtle cable. Now would be a good time for a cam belt change if your engine has a cam belt.

SHAVED_GORILLA Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I will be using the old aircon fans for cooling. Just a thought if you have aircon fitted an are getting rid. SG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
