Yeah look... the 4.2 without a turbo..... lets just say that it was designed to be very powerful, but speed was not part of that design team....hahaha.... but put a appropriately sized turbo on there, and you will be a very happy chappie.
I have pushed my 3 ton Iron Maiden to the 170 km/h mark on 33" muddies.....look it wasn't pretty ( they are not designed to do those speeds) but cruizing on holiday fully loaded is a pleasure, and fuel consumption is also not too shabby for an old school 6 cylinder cast iron chunk of metal. It will be heavier than a ZD30 motor for sure, but lighter than a 4.5/4.8 petrol, with about the same grunt as a 4.5
Which ever diesel you go for.... even a ZD30 motor.... fit a EGT temp gauge !!!!... these should be standard in EVERY diesel vehicles in my opinion.

I'm taking it next week if this deal falls through.
Waiting for the seller to tell me if it falls through so I can book my plane ticket.
