ecksstore 0 Posted August 3, 2006 This post may sound daft, but I am after a cheap reliable 4x4 diesel motor and whilst racking my brain about where to get one I came up with this gem of an idea.. whadda ya think? Would it be possible to put a 1.9TD engine into a MI16 4x4 to create a 4x4TD 405 If it would what do you reckon it would drive like? Might be a bit dead And also is the shell the same between a 4x4 405 and a normal standard 405? I would guess the back end and tunnel is different but maybe someone knows for sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a daft idea Would it be possible to put a 1.9TD engine into a MI16 4x4 to create a 4x4TD 405 Yes, the TD engine fits the gearbox. However I would put the diesel gears into the 4x4 gearbox as well. If it would what do you reckon it would drive like?Might be a bit dead Will drive fine probably... And also is the shell the same between a 4x4 405 and a normal standard 405?I would guess the back end and tunnel is different but maybe someone knows for sure The shells are completely different between a normal 405 and a 4x4. The rear is very different and the tunnel is wider to accomodate the propshaft and exhaust. Even the seat subframes are different! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
