    Hmm...Is there a write-up with all the details on this somewhere on the interweb, Peter?

      Well, no, not exactly.
      Badly documented for now sadly.
      Just the endless YouTube thing I never finished.

        Just finishing up a 1963 2A 109 pickup with 200TDi. It's running and moving around the shop, should be on the road in about a week, I'm hoping it's as nice to drive as the Merc truck.

            Im preparing to fit a Toyota 3B engine and its 5 speed tranny from a 1986 BJ70 Land Cruiser. I may start the swap this fall before the snow if everything is ready. If not will start the conversion this next spring.


            It will go in my 1973 series 3 88''

                    Here's an updated on my engine swap...Toyota 3B + 5 speed from a 1986 BJ70 in my 1973 Series 3. Still have some stuff to figure out but project now maybe 75-80% complete.
