[stokedapollo]

i need bellhousing and what ever else goes with it
mainly bell housing
i also need the xf flywheel
i can buy new bits if needed but thought i would look on here first

Dellows:

NISSAN PATROL (1980 – 1987) MQ–MK Petrol or Diesel 4 or 5 Speed
• Chevy V6 & V8 into Nissan Patrol
• Holden V8 253 / 308 into Nissan Patrol
• Ford V8 302/351 into Nissan Patrol
• Chrysler V8 – 273 / 318 into Nissan Patrol
• Chrysler 6 cyl 245 – 265 into Nissan Patrol
• Falcon 6 XR – XF into Nissan Patrol
• Falcon 6 EA and on into Nissan Patrol
• Commodore V6 3.8L into Nissan Patrol

 

[stokedapollo]

Yeah I have seen that was hoping someone might have some of the bits
To keep cost down

 

[seehuusen]

isn't a conversion kit about a $1000 or so with all the bits? you'd probably only find someone with that type of kit already installed?!? I'd look for a wreck with it in, but not sure how common this is?!?

It might be faster and more rewarding to save up for the new complete kit?
I've been thinking of putting one of these engines in too... But so far I've stayed with the simplicity (and dirtyness) of the SD33

Keep us informed on your conversion, I know I'd like to follow it

Speaking to the guy from dellows and Vic roads getting it reg with xflow should be easy using dellow kit aslong as I don't need to weld any mounts etc
Dellow supply mounts
They said if engine is similar size to way can come in the car from factory , pollution gear similar and no welding to chassis won't need engineer report
Plus just go in for an engine change
But will be posting pics etc and do a full build up description
I will probably get all from dellow

 

[seehuusen]

I'd be surprised if you don't have to weld the mounts to the chassis mate...

i would seriously consider a chev over a xflow. the conversion kit will be roughly the same price, same difficulties with wiring and exhaust etc. the chev has much more aftermarket support. and you dont have to get 350s, there are 400 for the keen or 305/307 and even smaller for those on a budget.

 

[stokedapollo]

Seehusen I'm not sure as yet but will find out
Nerok I would do v8 but seen as I have a perfectly good xflow sittin here lol

 

[seehuusen]

mmmmm 400CI in a shorty Would be VERY fun for sure! also potentially illegal (at least in QLD)

 

[neRok]

register it with a sub 300 chev engine, then swap it out!

and ive got 2 good condition v6 commo engines sitting around, but no way im going to put one in my MQ

 

[MQ MAD]

Engine conversions seem different between states,which does cause conflict on a forum
X Flow conversion seems a fair thing,gee the motors can be had for bugger all
Even the commonwhore V6 conversion is good,again had for cheap
But as neRok mentions all the $$$ and all the hassles mite as well go V8

Keep an eye on evilbay,conversion kits on there all the time

 

[stokedapollo]

If I had to buy the xflow I would do an 8 but I have a complete xf wagon given to me with sweet xflow so I'm ahead already

 

[black patrol]

theres a mq in the mq/mk classifieds on page 3 that has a 4.1 xflow in it hes parting out
may have the bits you need Hes user name is steeples

 

[stokedapollo]

cheers black ill have alook see

 

[Dazza MQ]

Stokedapollo
I think you may have to to mod the the engine mounts as the patrol mounts are to far forward and the fords are in the middle.
Plus Dellows engine mounts are desinged to be welded or BOLTED on to the Shassis.
Plus the oil filter on the ford engine and the patrol engine mounts will not clear when you put it in.
Well the MK im doing up had the P40 motor in it .

 

[stokedapollo]

Cheers Dazza I'm only going on what I have been told thus far but if I need engineers cert that's all good lol

 

[neRok]

SD33 engine mounts are a little further towards the rear im pretty sure
