Switch from bd30 to qd32t

Hello
I'from Portugal and have a patrol k260 With a td27 wich have died a fez years ago and been repalced by a cabstar bd30.
Since it was simples to change because the gear box and all the motor componentes where similar to the td27 that elas there before.
I was wondering if some of you can advise me if the qd32efi is compatible With my gearbox like the bd30 and if this engane is reliable.
I ask this blecause this engine is not available in MY country but i have a elgrand in europe that i can go for.
Since this engine is from a pathfinder i Belive that the swich could be easy, dispite the eletronic fuel pump that hás to be changed but i dont know if MY mechanic fuel pump of 12mm from cabstar bd30 can be applied instead.
Please If there is someone that could tell me if it's possible to do i would apreciate
Thanks
Rui Bravo

qd32eti has 7 bolts holding flywheel to crank. May make flywheel hard to work unless your bd30 has 7bolt. Td27 and qd32 non-turbo have 6bolt.
Fuel pump from td27t will work, bd30 pump will bolt in but may not be suitable being from direct injection setup

Hello slide
Many thanks for your reply
In you opinion this would be a great aquisition or do you know problems regarding this particular engine?
MY bd30 is a good engine if we dont mess around With it, but a bit limited .
I don't know much about qd32 but from what i've read seems very powerfull, do you aprove this enigne to be a good investment or do i stick around With MY bd30.
Thanks Again
Let me know about your opinion.
