Got a price from Castlemaine Rod Shop for $555 + P&H for a "AP 113 V6 Holden to Nissan Navara left hand starters" here. Also, we haven't got to thinking about tyres yet because our next main concern is getting a roll frame built in and safety gear (seats, helmets + suits). Hopefully we will get...

I guess we can always give it a shot on ebay. Can't hurt. Have revised the expected cost to ~$1250 with a 25% blowout. Breakdown: Engine + Loom= $140 Wiring= $50 Exhaust= $120 Cooling Sys= $100 Adapter Plate + P&H= $600 (About the only one we're sure about) Fuel lines and Pump= $150 Engine...

Sorry, went away for the weekend and forgot to check posts before I left. I was going to allow about a 15% blowout but that was probably a bit optimistic. The only reason it is that low is because we are getting the engine fairly cheap. We will sell the old engine, but maybe not ebay because...

Based on our research so far we are looking at spending about $1,000 to do the engine conversion and we are picking up our Nav next week for $800 (was defected for having too large tyres). Considering all the objection to a GM motor are there any ways to get the extra power out of the TD27 for...

Yeah a turbo intercooled diesel V8 would be the thing of dreams :big_smile: but a little out of our limited budget. Anticipating that the Engine Computer for an automatic commodore would not work and that the manual Computer would be needed? Also can anyone see an easy way around the dash...

No worries about the welding, with some of the other things we're looking at doing a couple of mount points isn't bad. Considering that we are going from diesel to petrol anyway there is a chance we'll have to swap the tank for something different, or at least get it out and cleaned so we could...

...d21demon... Considered it.. The old engine has only done ~230 000km but it hasn't had the best life from the looks of things. We are going for the off-road races like Sandblast and Barmera so V6 = better (plus we could turbo that). Have thought about these things, going to try a V8 engine...

Here goes for first post... A request for help! I'm part of a rover group with a D21 single cab with the 2.7L TD272 I4 diesel and we want to do an engine conversion with a VR Commodore 3800 V6. We have done the research as far as: - Adapter plates - reading manuals and many many forum posts -...
