And there will lie the lack of power.

DTI's are intercooled so one of them should fit

the standard isuzu trooper engine wasn't intercooled , the bighorn imports were but are like rocking horse muck to get hold of !
you wonder what the rear axle ratio is on that model fronty ? looks a nice job mind but id have worryed why it developed a loss of power ?

yes, the reported loss of power would have concerned me. Though the idea of putting a 2.8 into a B has got me intrigued. Now I have got space on the drive I may keep an eye out for a non runner B LWB, preferably with leather and some gadgets

Possible contender, wonder what his reserve is? about £500 I would guess

oh well, that idea has been knocked on the head. I've been told in no uncertain terms that we are not having another car sitting on the driveway in pieces! (I'll wait until after St Valentines day and try suggesting it again ;) )
