    IMHO the best place for a GQ engine is in a GQ Patrol - don't get me wrong though - I am a big fan of GQ Patrols and nearly almost sort of kind of maybe thought about buying one recently but went with a Tdi Disco instead....
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Smile to heavy

    doesnt diesel engine blocks need to be made of steel cos of their high compression ratios and so on..
    cars are buit for weight distribution so adding to much weight would create more problems??> Im not sure ..but running a bigger alloy motor is a great choice especially when they run water tight coil packs etc...
    and the amount of torgue you can get is upthere ..along with the sound and power of a chev....
    WHY Would'nt YA.....

    In the USA you can buy billet aluminium (or should I say aluminum) blocks and heads for the Duramax V8 diesel, these are for very high cylinder pressures and performance. IIRC you can also buy billet aluminium blocks for the straight 6 Cummins.

    IIRC, the stock Mazda Skyactiv diesel has an aluminium block. These 2 and 2.2 litre engines have been taken up to some phenomenal power for racing.

    So it can be done in aluminium with diesels - just a matter of trade-offs.

    You blokes are unbelievable!!!! Just modify the TD5 to suit your needs. And stop committing sacrilege. My little 5 can show up a lot of so called bullet proof toyonismo motors. Their expressions are priceless as I overtake them with my 9.1m van in tow. And yes, it is done safely!!! Apart from me not being able to see properly from the smokescreen these lumps create. Stay true to the fold gents. The TD5 mafia will fight for the cause!!

    FWIW, pretty sure the Audi TD that was the first diesel to win the Le Mans 24hr's a few years back used a (lightweight) iron block.

    Does such a thing exist any more? After all, the Pumas are Ford, the D3/4 are PSA, not sure where the Freebie or FFRR come from though.
