Go on!!!
Plenty help finding an engine over here and getting it sent out. Could probably turn up a 101 for the job too...
In Australia an Isuzu 6BD1T or 6BG1T might be similar money.
The layout on the Isuzus is opposite (intake and exhaust on other sides) which may or may not solve some packagin problems. The Isuzus are also a dry sleeved engine. Rebuilds are quick and very cheap if they need it.
They might be all snapped up to repower bedfords. I'm talking to the Isuzu agents about this right now. Isuzu has a long-block program for all their common diesels. The pump that's spat the dummy is a 6BD1. Oil pressure and water temp cut-outs failed. It still runs but sounds like hammers inside a tumble-drier.
Still awaiting prices. http://isuzudiesel.com.au/media/1804...lock%20Bro.pdf
Cylinder liners aftermarket are $80 each. Pistons about $500 for a set. But genuine cylinder kits are about $500 a piece and well worth it if you drive a vehicle yourself. They are matched set in four different grades to suit different tolerance bores.
Big difference in blowby and NVH when you get the factory stuff right.
wonder if a Cat V8 and Allison would fit a 101

you could use whats left to store all your landy bits in. (or live in it when the missus kicks you out when she finds out what you bought)
Never sell my girl, i have a good contact for engines n boxes in scotland
Do tell?
Wouldn't mind a half decent/cheapish one if it's 'local'.
