At least you could have said a 6 cylinder Turbo Diesel from a 740 or something but a 340 !
I was joking - I just didn't like seeing this forum empty

Hi Louey,
Here in sweden the Volvo conversion is very common. People get tired of the 2,1 WBX engine which dont last long in the cold climate like minus 20 or 25.
The following eninges have been build in (B19 , B20, B23, B230) . The rebuild is quite simple according to a few owners i spoke.
problem is that engine needs a lot of air, they tend to get warm in the back of the T3 . For the B23 you will need to raise your engine decklid.
I havent heard of the 6cyl diesel conversion but djee that engine must be heavy...

.. and some of the SA crowd seem to like putting Toyota CT diesels in, big and heavy though - must in plentiful supply and have a good rep.

Thanks Russel,
That's an oft forgotten conversion, and the capacity sounds about the right mark for a heavy camper. Am I right in saying that its considered a bit heavy though?
