Thread: 6.2L diesel in P38?

I think a front clip from a diesel P38 out of the UK might be a better idea.

I hear ya...
but they are very pricey... 6.2L diesel are plentiful and parts are cheap.
you can even turbo them with very little money
how much do you think shipping a UK clip would cost apart from the initial purchase?

I'm more inclined to thinking that dropping the whole Chevy suburban or H1 hummer on top of a P38 then driving away in the suburban/hummer would be the more sensible and reliable way to go......

Thats just my opinion.

I would like to see someone do it though, then change all the drive train and electricals to make it reliable.

Should be able to have a good car for a bit under $150k

I have often thought that a LS1/2/3 etc with the matching trans would be a good conversion for a P38 which would be relatively reasonably priced.

why so much money? do you want to build ten of these? lol
but seriously... were talking 5 grand max to do a spectacular vehicle

6.2 ick, been there, rid of it

Dude on stalkbook is doing just that, he's in the us also

I'll be putting a gen 3 and auto in, in the coming few months

I am going to pair the 6.2 with a t56 six speed manual.

Mine was to an lt77 in a classic, unless your planning on turbocharging it, I wouldn't

Becm can be switched to manual

To me this would be the ideal coversion for a P38. Not cheap tho
