hi guys as my old 3.0L engine in my 91 lwb patrol is getting a little bit sad 370,000km sad to be accurate i was wondering if i could replace it with the bigger 4.2L without to much hassle would it require a engineers report (i am in victoria) and would there be any other hassles (besides removing silly grin from face because of more power)
must admit i would like the extra power up the hills whilst towing
any help appreciated
warm regards simon

Andrew Patrol is correct.. Gearbox, wiring, etc etc the works is different. it wont be as cheap as you hoped. But you do have 4.3 diffs, the only good thing on a 3.0 :(
For the cost you are going to go through, it would be cheaper to go the VL Turbo (Same engine anyway just NA instead of turbo) motor than the TD42. Or even a 350 Chev conversion.
