Hey guys, great forum you got here.
I actually found this forum researching a diesel swap into a SWB Range Rover classic. It looks like it's going to be a fun project.

Hi Shawn.
I have a RRC with the 4BD1T installed (well it has been installed, currently out for cleanup). It's not a difficult swap if you have a RHD rangie, but LHD means your steering box is making things a bit more difficult.
You need to consider your gearbox options carefully for the 4BD1T. The torque pulses are more than most gearboxes can handle.
There are plenty of smaller Isuzu options to consider as well, the 4JB1T will fit a lot easier but won't return quite the torque or economy of the 4BD1T.
