Apologies first for being a total slack Bast!!d on this post :(
Have had so much to do with designing an adaptor to doing M and G series gearbox but can see the light now :)
Other problem has been engine mounts my truck is so 1 off needed to make it all a bit simpler
Have now designed and made 1st off prototype to relocate the Isuzu alternator (that would also be jammed hard against the N/S chassis rail if not moved) up out of the way of mud and water and have dropped the power steering pump into its place
This also allows the access to the side of the engine to pick up in the correct place (you can see the 3 free holes in the photo)on the block and not end up with some heath Robinson set up as I have seen done.

Always pleased to hear your comments and criticisms beleive you me working it all out sounds alot easier than it it is

Here you go girls and boys i know its a fair bit of money for the kit but damn cheaper than some and you get a lot of stuff for your hard earned coin

Hi Dave I have been looking at your thread about the Isuzu engine. I want to do a engine conversion as the 1.3 is gutless being used to V8 s. With your conversion kit is there any welding involved ? Is it just coolant plumbing or is it quite involved ? What do you do about Ecu ? Loom ? Fueling ? Thank you in advanced
