Hello everyone
I'm really enjoying all the conversions here and have learned much.
This will be my first diesel swap,first I'll start with a little background
on the Samurai. A year and a half ago I swapped in a 1996 GM 3.4 SFI
(transverse)engine mated to a Toyota W56 tranny.The engine was pretty tired
and I wanted something with better fuel mileage.I looked at the Toyota diesels because they would have been a bolt in,but
was non-plussed with the mpg of the 1KZ and the 2KD engine is NOT available in the states.So for good mileage
and availability the 1.9 looked really good.
Here is the Samurai...
I have done numerous mods to it
The main mod was stretching the frame and front clip/hood 8".
This was done not only so the V6 would have plenty of room but to get the engine behind the axle (closer to a mid engine )
Should have plenty of room for the ALH (the ALH is actually 4" longer than the V6)
All for now
Still collecting parts
Rice
