Has anyone seen or done this conversion before?
I heard of one in a 110 but not a series 3 as i am contemplating.
My truck is a 6cylinder 109 chassis so there should be plenty of room for it though I may need to move the radiator forward a bit.
I plan to use the Nissan 4 speed gearbox and transfer case to keep it simple and to eliminate any broken gearbox issues.
Incidentally I will soon have a good Holden 202 and 6cylinder gearbox up for sale, so hopefully they will pay for the new engine!

Yeah but the ED33 is a completly different animal to SD33. ED33 is 4cyl and SD33 is six cylinder.
The motor and box im looking at is from an MQ patrol

<snip>You may also have to remove the cross-member immediately behind the SIII gearbox, as the 110 doesn't have that item.
