As for the height i cant find any specs but the worst case scenario would be bonnet mods right? Does anyone know the 4HE1Tdimensions?

Rijidij I read you thread before nice work mate and handy photos there also. Like the paint too :)

Would be good if Bush65 and Dougal could chime in here as you guys seem pretty knowledgeable on the matter.

Thanks

You may have to wait till Bush65 gets back from his trip before he replies

I impression (may be wrong) is the flywheel housing is larger than the 4BD1, so it could be a problem with clearance to the left chassis rail. The rear facing starter may help the clearance to the chassis but may need a bulge in the passenger floor.

My gearbox (MXA-6R) is a little different to that in the pic. It's case was too wide for the front extension housing of an LT230. The overall length of the gearbox and bell housing is about the same as for an R380 with 300Tdi bell housing.

The cable gearshift on my gearbox is similar (small differences). I used shifter and cables from an old Toyota Corolla.

Either way they're a big sucker. BL Truck have (had) a few 4BD1 and 'T' engines with or without the MSA boxes.

Good luck with the search:)

Better to ask what is the same:

They are both 4cyl, direct injection, turbo diesels, and both made by ISUZU.

Apart from that, pretty much everything is different. I don't think any parts can be interchanged.

NPR trucks - same as the 4BD1.

The 4HE1 replaced the 4BD1, and has since been replaced by another engine.

The 4HE1T is a pretty big engine. I have a brand spankin new one sitting on my floor at work. The bellhousing is to siut an NPR so not too sure on fitting LR box.
There are two versions as well, the 4HE1T and 4HE1TC (intercooled)
The 4HE1T i have is a complete Genuine engine including pump and injectors but minus fan.
Anyone in Perth is welcome to come down and have a look and size it up.
Just PM me and arrange a time to come in.

You need to make sure when you buy one of these that you are getting the right spec.
The 4HE1T non intercooled is generally identified by the IHI turbo.
The 4HE1TC intercooled is identified by the Garrett turbo.

Dont use the TC engine without an intercooler or one that is smaller than the original spec. Intake charge temp will be a lot hotter and there will be problems.
