diesel jim was created by Basketcase
Hello guys was just wondering if anyone had managed to swap their petrol engine for a diesel one and what engine they used and gearbox etc also how difficult the swap is to do and if its worth the time effort and costs? Im thinking about frinding a swift diesel possibly and using that engine as my current gearbox may fit straight onto it as the jimny engine is the same as the swift petrol one? Any feedback would be great thanks
