    4BD1 into an 88" Series III

    Gday

    Just a probable brainstorming maybe

    Say you had a Series III 88" with a petrol in it

    What would need to be done to fit a 3.9 Isuzu with the possibility it may end up turboed?

    Apart from the obvious, nose cone, bigger radiator, engine mounts etc

    Thanks

    A suitable gearbox/transfer such as an LT95 would be the main requirement. It would eat the S3 box. Engine/gearbox mounts and transmission tunnel all would need modifying as well as the nosecone etc to fit the crossflow radiator. Then a beefed up rear axle. I was thinking of doing this to a shorty as well - it would be unbelievable offroad!!!

    Everything between the flywheel and the wheels will need upgraded.

    With the increased length of the LT95 and Salisbury, the tail shaft would be extremely short.

    its not a practical fit out to an 88.... I measured it up as part of Kermits refit..

    Im not saying its not doable but doing it right would be excruiciatingly difficult.

    your best bet would be to start with a 90" chassis and go from there.

    now a tdi200/300 with the fuel compensator plugged to a control valve mounted off 4th gear to limit power with a sals in the tail... Thats doable AND you can make it look externally unmodded.

    Thanks for all the replies

    As I said it's only a probable and I doubt it will ever happen

    But thanks for helping the dream

    If you did a Stage 1 treatment to the front then it would fit, but then you'd want disk brakes to make it stop and all said and done you may as well start off with a 90.

    You could get away with a 200TDi so long as you don't mind changing the gear box regularly.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    If it was done in a 109, would the front need to be pushed forward still, or could the recessed grill be retained? Drive lines would need modified for sure.

    Rangie or disco chassis, fit series 3 body on the top and then decide what to do about the difference in wheelbase.
