pat_pending Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Poor picture, but it looks like a Nissan FD35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm not familiar with Japanese diesels at all so could well be as suggested abouve. However the inline injection pump and shape of the rocker housing looks very reminiscent of my old Mercedes 2.5D (that was 5 cylinder but there was a 4 cylinder version 2.0L).

V8county Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 Thank you. Sorry for poor pic. Seller told me it is a Nissan engine but any experience with it. Only very similar engine I found is ED33 : http://www.postadsuk.com/left-hand-drive-nissan-cabstar-mlgh40-6-tyres-long-wheel-base-pick-up-truck-ed33-engine_76257-7.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landrovernuts Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Looks like an FD35 to me to. I had an FD35T which was a stonking engine, but getting parts for it was a big problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat_pending Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 The FD35/T engines were a popular conversion in the 80s. I used to fit them. The engines pull like trains, however they're very very heavy and this can limit off road ability and on road handling. There are many unique parts to the conversions, probably now unobtainable, and getting parts for the engines themselves can be difficult and expensive. Buy something with a tdi in it, far less potential for trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
