Delivery can be arranged. Or even meet half way

Engine, box, all cables, spare pump, all plumbing even a shortened shaft for the the t box, plus i have the engine mounts for it to drop in a sj.

Hi mate,

I sold the engine and box last night to a guy who wanted the gear box. In reality you will nees SPOA to fit the engine as the sump is low on them, oe you need to swap for an escort sump or similar.


If I was going to do a derv, do a VW into a sj. Small, light ish and loads of grunt. Plust they can be $ade to fit the sj gear box fairly easily :thumbup:

the 306 D turb ones?


You need a LDV pilot box, that has the hydralic clutch.

They are big heavy engines, i saw one with it in at the indoor 4x4 show last year, and it looked tight. Matr of mine had a 1.7 N/A astra in his with a carlton box, dead heavy and it was oh so slow!

What gearbox would you run with that?
And when you say isuzu could it just be a vauxhall 1.5td? As the old 1.5td corsa's are cheap as chips
