i'd like to see this swap too. Astar, the diesel isuzu trucks that you can get this motor from, where do you find them. i dont think ive seen any in canada. although i have seen lots of bighorn diesels in New Zealand(trooper variant). Which engine adapter are you refering too? you say nv4500. what will work to use h55 transmission do you think? also they sound like a good power. i would be scared to throw in a heavy torque monster like cummins 12 valve. also since you have a couple of these could you post a couple pics for the rest of us.
i think one day we'll convince someone to take on this project.
