The hardest thing about the conversion is welding a new exhaust section, everything else is quite straight forward, You will need to cut and reweld the radiator mounts for the new radiator, a new fuel filter (the returns are all different), a new clutch (its worth the replacement), take off all...

Well, after a successful engine transfer I have a redundant 2.56N/A diesel engine, along with the radiator, clutch, starter, expansion tank, bits of exhaust/flywheels and cooling system etc. It was in great condition, no smoke and a good starter, it seems a shame to weigh it in, so if anyone...
