Thread: Heart Transplant Question

Have seen one done with an LT95 behind it. Looked good, but very cluttered in the engine bay. Apparently it wasn't as good as the Isuzu offroad and suffered from overheating issues.

Cousin John has installed a 6.5 in his County....however it is an unfinished project

Here is the link to the project. The photo links were lost in the last server crash.

I'll see if I can dig up a few from my archives.

It fitted but with a 2" body lift.

The gearbox is an LT95.

A custom radiator was next on the list of big things to do.

As for comparisons with an Isuzu I can't comment apart from there is no way an Isuzu could sound as good as a V8.

Mahn.
Thanks for the reply an link, very interesting read indeed, just a shame that the pic's were lost in the ether!

The reason I was wondering about the GMC V8 is I'm thinking of droping 1 into a 130 6x6. Thing's I needed to know was - how hard to do, what sort of box was used and what mods to the body/chassi were requried. Your thread pretty much covered them all.

The only thing I need to work out is what this Box/TC is called (pic below) as its what I need to use for the 6x6 conversion. I think its a Lt95 in front but not 100% sure.

Looks like an LT95 to me, with PTO drive ala Perentie.

Thats what its off, a Perentie, I was thinking it was the LT95box, but I cant find the model N° for the High/Low PTO TC. I also can't find my old ADF Perentie Manual anywhere either and my memory aint as good as it use to be and the Model N° escapes me completely for the TC.

G'day Gibs, My memory isn't as good as it used to be sometimes too. The whole gearbox/transfer case setup is called a LT95. Same setup as in the 4X4 Perentie with the addition of the rear axle drive output bolted on the rear (vacuum actuated ). Shoot me a pm if you need to know any numbers as I have an RPS for most of the 6X6.

Thanks Brian, I will take you up on that offer for Part N°'s.
Yeah its the actual PTO bito that the old noggin has a blank spot with. In fact I cant even recal its trade name. Old age, ainit it fun.

As above, the LT95 is the combined gearbox/transfer case. This box was designed from the outset for a PTO for a powered trailer in the 101, and this PTO was used for the 6x6 Perentie and civilian 110s. They are pretty scarce outside of the Australian military (the powered trailer was not a howling success in practice!).
