I put the 6.2 in this 15 years ago, as that seemed to be the only option around at the time.
No problems so far.

A mate has one in a 60 series LC. He gets much better economy than this. He told me he gets 11-12L/100km on average. I don't know what gearing he is running. I did some research on these when I had my Pootrol. For a drive in drive out conversion you are looking at least $20K and they only produce about 130KW in non turbo form. The torque is produced very low in the revs but it is nothing to get excited about. I personally would look at something from Jaoan like a 1HZ Turbo.

I put one in a rangie once, it was the 6.5, that is a time in my life I try to forget, sooooo much heartache. What a big, heavy, underpowered, thirsty, how do I keep this cool, piece of rubbish. I should have put a 4BD1T in instead, and now I have in my current rangie, I am sooooo happy with it, it does everything I want and need .
My old man has a 6.5 in his 110. Runs a 4L80E as well.
Boat anchor comment is a bit over the top - this thing is a tank and uses less fuel than my 4.6 P38 ever will, does all its work at idle.
If you ask him nicely he might sell it... Probably for less than what it'd cost you to convert one.
Cheers

I can't believe people are still considering these engines.
I agree with Vern. Heavy, slow, thirsty and they run hot, unless you spend some good money on the cooling system, to get similar performance to the dinner table sized radiator normally found in the American trucks they come out of.
Plenty of other, better choices out there.

If they were that great, i'd still have mine, mick would still have his, rovercare would still have his blah blah blah. 😊 i'd rather a 3.0 nissan motor than the chev😅
I think its pretty close.. They're derived from a petrol, have average torque, are IDI, blocks are weak, put a turbo on them and their life is halved.. Nope, there's a lot more options that are a far better bet around. A remapped Td5 would go better.. Granted, the GM V8's sound sweet, but that's about all IMO.
