Conversion

gday boxa.
i cant help you with your question but talking about hiux conversions.
one of our customers does a lot of work for car yards and he was telling me about a hilux that one of the hards were looking at.
hilux 6.7 chev big lift and wheels $40000 spent on it engineered trade in price$5000jamieson wild cat

Think carefully my friend.
The 3.0lt diesel is electronic and requires a reasonable amount of wiring changes. a second hand donk with computer and all will cost you at least $4000 and then there is the matter of getting the whole deal fitted and rolling along problem free. This will be some more dolars on top.
maybe you should consider selling the beast and buying one as a diesel.

Just a thought but tread lightly.

Howesy has got it right .Sell the hilux and buy a larger HJ 75 for the cost of a conversion and be in the scrub the next day. Engine swaps like these go on for months and by the time they are finished and always go over budget.Another thing to think of is the diesel hilux would not offer significant fuel savings,just a bit more torque.

Yep, like the others said, conversion are generally expensive and for the money you spend you're better off getting a vehicle that suits you're needs. I had a friend who after blowing up his 2.8 turbo diesel hilux decided to convert to a holden 253 'cos it was cheap'. 1 year and 18 grand later he's got a car worth $5,000 if he's lucky I don't think it's ever run more than 1 month at a time. Now drives a mini to and from work so he can afford to fix the clutch - again!!

Thanks for the advice guys. It was the responses I was expecting anyway.
Better to keep the money to do up the GU I feel.
