Thread: covert a Discovery 1 to Isuzu

Indeed I could easily make one over here I only need the specs or an example (picture) so the people here know what to make.

does any one have this information?

Will this work with my AT gearbox???

Thank you

There is no plant here, the engines were made in Japan (by ISUZU). Land Rover Australia (actually Jaguar Rover Australia back then) did a deal with Isuzu. They were fitted to new 109s and 110s from 1982 to 1990.

I imagine that labour is very cheap where you are? The adaptor is hard to find second hand, and not available new any more. It would probably be easiest/cheapest to get one made.

The adaptor referred to is not the sort of thing anyone would make for a one only conversion - Land Rover had to made hundreds of these vehicles.

It consisted of a new flywheel housing to replace the Isuzu housing and new bell housings to replace the LT95 and LT85 bell housings. They changed other things as well.

You might like to look at the isuzu diesel swapper site this company is in the USA where many of the isuzu trucks have either auto transmissions, or 5 speed manuals that aren't liked because they don't have an o/d top gear.
