County engine swap

[Wortho]

Hi guys, is there much involved with putting a 4bd1t into a V8 county?
What kind of fuel economy do the Isuzu's get?
The one i'm looking at has a 4.8 V8 put in by John Davis which is apparently pretty good but i can't see it being that good on the fuel, it does however also have F/R maxi drives, Maxi axles and long range tanks.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I went from a 4.2 Litre V8 to a 4BD1T >>>>>>>>>> http://www.aulro.com/afvb/isuzu-landy-enthusiasts-section/55113-county-v8-4bd1turbo-conversion.html
As much as I loved my V8, I love the Isuzu Turbo more.
The V8 was about 19 L/100km, the Isuzu 10-14 Litres/100km depending on fueling etc.

a fair bit of work is required and it has been covered before try the search function.


I would suggest that you might consider a lpg conversion. buying a suzi and then paying to install it will buy you an awful lot of LPG.

I could sell you a suzu, only 230,000k on the clock:)

tell you what, you finish running it in first and I'll think about buying it.

Wortho,

If that 4.8 is anything like the one JD built for my RRC, then it'll use fuel but what an engine:twisted: After I fitted my 4BD1T into my RR(For the same reason you are doing it to the county...:() I was staggered at the increased fuel range and economy etc, but really, really miss that V8....:(:(:(:(
The engine now resides in a Rover SD1 hatchback with Haltech and a LT77 behind it:twisted::eek:

Do the Isuzu 4bd1 Turbo diesel conversion, you should get a good price for the V8 even though it is a fuel consumer as they are a pretty good quality stroker.

There's a truck 4BD1 on ebay atm (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ISUZU-4BD1-4-CYL-MOTOR-SECOND-HAND_W0QQitemZ380108511810QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Tr uck_Parts_Accessories?hash=item380108511810&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) - questionable condition, but its already been converted to 12 V and its going cheap. Good candidate for a rebuild?
