Hey All,
I just want to touch base and see if anyone here managed to install the Isuzu 4JJ1 engine into a Land Rover. I am looking at doing something similar in my Discovery 2. My TD5 is getting a little tired and needs a rebuild. So I have decided to move away from this and install the Isuzu 4JJ1.
Does anyone know if there is a Bellhousing for the R380 Manual that will bolt to the 4JJ1? If this is too hard I will look at using the 6 speed manual from the new D-max once I can find a good affordable donor car. The 6 speed manual option I feel would be a bit more work due to connecting the LT230 to the Aisin AWR6B45 6 speed Manual from the Isuzu, New transmission mounts, transfer box location, prop shaft modifications etc.
I have chosen the 4JJ1 engine as it is a simple truck engine. Lots available in Australia, very affordable replacement engine and will be a good reliable engine for long distance driving. They are also comfortably producing about 400hp at the wheels with modification and tuning at a few diesel performance workshops around Australia.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
