Hi militaryman and co,


Thanks for this forum.

I'm investigating engine upgrades for a 1.8 litre 86 L300 4WD.

Vehicle has 150 000 orginal kms and the donk is in good nick.

Planning on modifying and keeping the vehicle long term.

2.6 Petrol Mitsubishi is the obvious choice. V6 Commodore could be expensive yet affordable.

Deisel is my preference.

Anyone have any experience fitting a 4D56? Or 4D56t?

Are any other deisels suitable? (Preferably Mitsubishi)

My idea of an engine swap is anything without extensive use of grinders and welders.

Custom mech work is OK. (Expecting mods to fuel tank, lines, exhaust, breathers, etc.)

Any suggestions most appreciated.
