PETROL TO DIESEL

(1/3) > >>

Hi guys

Im wanting to change my 2 1/4 petrol to a 2 1/4 diesel engine.

Is the 2 1/4 DIESEL  engine more or less a straight swop for the 2 1/4 petrol?

Also im assumimg i would have to put 109 leaf springs on the front?

Cheers Gavin

Canada Al:
yes it goes straight in . If you are going to change the springs , get the right ones for your model with a diesel engine .

Rich_P:
You do have to set up the diesel return line and a load of other things that are not on the petrol system too.  If your throttle linkage is a mechanical one, then you need to set up a cable operated throttle with the foot pedal so that you can connect it to the governer.

Canada Al:
yes , of course theres also the diesel fuel tank ( or sweat a fitting into the petrol tank (( be real carefull )) ) the bigger battery , the ignition switch to work the glow plugs , the glow plug resistor the fuel filter and plumbling . Basically if you have a work shop and the know how you can do it . But expect to find some snags along the way . This is a conversion I've done but I did have several scrap landy to scavange bits off . Have you considered fitting a 2.5 . All the same snags but a much better engine all together .

Lincs niva:
Thanks for the replys guys.I thought about a 2.5 engine but cant find one for a decent price.There is a member on here selling a 2 1/4 diesel for a good price not to far away from me.

so would i have to change the spring's is it nesscary to do so?

Cheers Gavin
