Phillip Beck from Greymouth is who this person is, and he obviously doesn't have anything better to do with his time.

Come on there fellas. The lad is just looking for the right answer and here it is.
6.5 ltr chev V8 diesel with twin turbo set up. It will shoe horn in to the little zook peice of cake and will easily turn the hugh 30" tyres that the new ride will be cruising on.
Any basic engineering shop will be able to cut a bit of 2mm plate to adapt from engine to bell housing.
There ya Philip all ya answer done for ye.
Just remember to take lots of photos along the way as we all like following a good build

Good idea, an 8-71 V8 Detroit would work quite well in a Suzuki too. I think they weigh about 1.5 tonnes (engine only). Blown 2-stroke diesel though, big power & big noise & big smoke.

I know a guy who has one from a combine harvester if you're interested Phil.

Also while you're at it might be a good idea to do the 10-speed Roadranger gearbox swap.

A repower with a Peugeot diesel seems popular in the UK. Similar sizing.

I did hear of a recent vitara repower with a Lexus V8 in Christchurch.

All jokes aside I would give my left one ( its ok its defective ) for the RHZ peugot diesel and auto , as fitted to the 2002-2005 GV's , as a conversion for my flatdeck 413 but at the end of the day its just not worth the coin so will end up with a 1.6 vitara petrol and auto Unless someone can line me up a wrecked diesel GV .

There is internet rumor that suzuki used the xu9 (think thats the number)diesel so there was a bellhousing for it , not as much grunt but no electrics . Could be an option but getting the bellhousing could be an issue .

The samurai I had with the 2CT in it was a good unit , however the install could have been a bit better . Keep thinking of trying to buying it back of swamped .

[Swamped]

That could be an option Haven't had time to tidy it back up yet but I want too. Plates are still live and I have a line on another fully rebuilt motor for it.

The RHZ and RHW may be good motors when they are fresh but they have a few issues later down the track, main one being that rain water runs down through the intercooler and rusts No3 & No4 injector into place to the point that they cannot be removed, and they need to come out not only to get serviced but to get at the cylinder head bolts........ I have seen and heard of a lot of very expensive repair bills on those motors. Another issue is availability of parts for them.....

The F9Q motor in the later Grand Vitaras are no better, if they pick up a stick or stone in the front drive belt they skip teeth on the cambelt, or break it all together lunching a pile of valves, again expensive repair bills.......

People have put 4age into suks for ages. Maybe the late 80s corolla diesels will fit to same box people use with 4ages. Maybe worth a shot.

I think if you get stones under your cambelt it's going to be the start of some pretty expensive repair bills regardless of what engine it is. I'm sure that doesn't apply purely to an F9Q engine.

How are parts not available for them? PSA (pug) diesels are some of the most common in the automotive world... Is it merely a local (nz) problem or internationally?

I'm pretty interested in looking at a factory diesel 'zuki for her indoors and I'm pretty keen to sponge any info I can on them at the moment.

niva has had the bellhousing between the 2 mated together

that's the 2c Toyota diesel 2ltr I suggested as that's what they put in nivas

try reading what I said again and take it in, I didn't say stones under the CAMBELT, i said under the drive belts - ie: air cond pump belt, I dont know of any other engine that if a stick or stone gets into the front belts that will cause valves to lunch pistons.

Dont know about you but I like to be able to ring up the likes of repco etc or if need be the dealership and have them either have the parts on the shelf, or at the worst be available overnight, and at a good price, you wouldn't find that common with a pug deisel in a suzuki vehicle.....

If you for whatever reason have some strange love affair with pug deisels, buy a pug with one in it, it will make your life ALOT easier....

and they have the same bell housing pattern as the 1S/2S/3S, 3VZ/5VZ, 1MZ etc motors, totally different to a 4A bell housing.
