Hi all,
Whilst researching doing this, I couldn't find much info on this swap so I thought I'd do the good thing and detail it all here!
Firstly I'm starting with my Rangie. It's a shortened and bobtailed '71 2 door classic with 4 wheel steering. Currently running a 3.9 V8 on Strombergs with a 4 speed ZF Auto.
The truck is totally rebuilt with a galvanised (somewhat altered!) chassis and stainless steel tub, not to mention a few other mods such as the steering.
Due to the chassis being galvanised, I wasn't prepared to move the engine mounts. I also wanted to keep it auto. The only conversion I could find to retain this box and the original engine mounts is the Isuzu 2.8/3.1
And so we begin...
