    More info please... - Like, 'which' engine?

    - Almost ANY, non-LR engine gets my vote, just on principle, even petrol ones...

    Well i'll find out. I'm not sure of the model of truck but it was either a hino or isuzu

    I was helping a mate this arvy with checking his late model light truck front wheel bearings. The cab was tilted over.

    I noticed it had this big/wide four cyl turbo engine in it.

    Looked really neat and tidy with not much crap hanging off it with heaps of torque and power.

    I just thought yeah that would be a pretty good sitting in the front of my '83 Classic haha

    Yep, with *heaps of torque* ... goodby gearbox/transfer/diffs/axles/CV joints, eventually...

    If you want a good 4 litre truck engine with heaps of torque, smooth and not too heavy a thirst (compared to the v8's) and quiet.... just buy yourself a GU Patrol,,,

    a 4BD1(T) Isuzu is good, and the 4 speed was used behind that engine in 110's.

    You'll be breaking new ground with this one.
    But if you want to drop to 3.9 litres, you'll find plenty of info.

    It will be a Hino Dutro engine 4.0L Turbo Intercooled (with the Toyota Vac Pump Alternator) coupled to HJ45 Gearbox, Transfer Case and diffs. With disc brake conversion...

    You'll see it in 15 years time haha

    If you want to drive a 40 series with a hino. Go buy a 40 series and throw it in. It could even be an easy swap and will be worth something when you're done.

    Don't put part time 4wd into a rangie. Especially not with a toyota 4 speed. It's just wrong and will make your vehicle instantly worth nothing.
