If i was to fit a 3litre lump into my current 2.4Litre truck, which componants wouldalso needto movewith the engine? I'm guessing ecu's, wiring loom, gearbox and other underbonnet parts? the crank has gone on my 2.4litre engine after it dumped all the oil from the sump and i have been offered a fire damaged 3litre truck which still drives but is beyond repair. Many fanx in advance, Joe.

how much is this fire damaged 3.0ltr going for?!
Is it cost effective??
Is your 2.4 flucked or just a bit underpowered?
If i was doing an engine swap id not waste my time with the 3.0ltr an id look at something bigger.
Also, no matter how many mods you have on your truck, a few days will see most of it removed an refitted on another truck if you have the space/time etc. Which considering your thinking about an engine swap id say you do!

We really don't mind how much work is involved for this its just a project for us, we were just wondering what parts need to be changed or altered and any snags to watch out for.

6 inch body lift?! Thats what... double the recommendation aint it?!
anyway, your only looking at adding what, 30 bhp?! for the cost an effort involved fit a K&N an just think "im going faster"
Fit an intercooler an speak with dieselboy, his 2.4 is as fast as his 3.0 with the mods it has.
Not as much time or money to fit an intercooler etc

At the end of the day mate, its your choice.
im not saying "DONT do it"
just that as far as engine conversions go... it aint the wisest one.
If you want to go for it, go for it.. if you get any problems you got loads of people here to answer stuff!

Originally posted by YoungOffroader View Postyer i get what your saying thanx. I was trying to see what partsfrom the 3 litre will need to move with the engine. Ive seen the pics on the aussie site showing all the dash removed soim guessing looms, engine and ecu.
the gearbox is controlled from the engine ECU. Dont know how it would take to being messed around.
Very involved i think.
