It is a bit difficult to get a pic of the engine casting numbers with the turbo in that location on mine . The ADR plate on the rocker cover clearly states the engine is designed to comply with ADR30 on 5/95. It was a new truck engine when I bought it.

I can see a market for reproductions of that plate...

For goanna shire. I will be in Townsville from Tuesday for about a week if you want to have a look at it Brian.

I am thinking of buying a good V8 Disco (preferably with dual airbags) and fitting a 4bd1 as a 'fuel saving improvement' Would I be stupid in thinking that my dreams may be possible with all that extra weight over the front axle with the airbag system for engineering? If this has already been covered here please just tell me to shut up and try again with the search button or preferably let me know what thread it is.

Any comments or guidance would be magic guys.

Cheers,

G'day Brain,i think Tim done that conversion to a RRC not that long ago(not a 100% sure though). You probably already have but have you talked to him about it? Sorry i can't be more help.
