well i think the pug diesel (i take it, it is a derv!) is one of the best out there..loads of torque and as your well aware off, bril on fuel economy.. fitted in a light weight truck like a sj, the only proplem you may have is transmision breakages. (thats if you really abuse it)..

Yerp its the 1.9 TDI with top mounted intercooler.

To make it work i would need a LDV pilot (or similar) gear box and mover the intercooler.

It shouldnt break too much stuff as the gearing is dead low on it and i dont abuse it too much. Its just a lot of down time for the truck if i decide to do it

i think what i would do,, is find a scrap sj (its a shame your so far away, as im scrapping one).
and trial fit eveything into it, including engine mounts (just tack weld them), make up a engine loom etc. then its just a matter of when your ready, pull the motor out of yours, and install your pug engine. simples!! as the mearcat would say. i used do do it that way when i done engine transplants on volkswagens, saves downtime on the car..

Thats a good plan but i think we are looking at cashing it in with this new govt policy and spend the money on the sj :lol:
