Engine swap - MU 3.1TD>Jackaroo

[redbull]

Hi All

Just gathering info about replacing 3.2V6 in the Jack. Engines getting old and tired but the car is kitted out how we want it. I know the easiest thing to do is recon the 3.2 but we would like the extra towing capabilities and feul economy of the diesel. I was thinking about selling my MU but its a bit rough and I probly wouldn't get much for it, so I was thinking of using it as a donor vehile for the Jack. My year Jack did come out with a 3.1TD so I can get any parts I need(diffs, drive shafts,etc)

Does anyone know of any dramas I may come across - engine mounts, cross members, electrics????

Thanks
Danny

Mounts and crossmembers You have both there so measuring is easy. Electrics is only running the ignition wire to the fuel cut off. Bellhousings are different so use the Mu gearbox. Check to see if both driveshafts are flange or slide type

I have bought a 3.2 Trooper this week. It is a 2000 model. Only V6 troopers were sold in South Africa -no diesels. I want to change this to a diesel and therefor would follow your conversion closely- enjoy and keep us posted.
