I've voted 2.8 Isuzu - because it is one of the all time great diesel engines.  I am surprised you have had problems because they are incredibly reliable, nay bullet proof!

If your installation is a nice one then all the hard work is done and I'd swap like for like, or do the rebuild work.

Otherwise I'd say chuck a V8 in it - because there's not much beats one...

I know of a 2.8 Isuzu lump that's a real sweet runner, its in a 1990 Trooper, the engine code is 4JB1. The guy doesn't want silly money for it either.

PM me if you're interested.

Jason , I voted IZUZU because you have all the conversion work allready done + the Izuzu is the best dead-seal engine on the market bar none, buy the one being offered to you then take your time repairing the dead one  - then sell it  to offset the cost of buyingthe other one, best of luck with it mate,
