Those have a 2.5 liter diesel, I'll keep my liberty with it's 2.8 diesel.

Without a picture of the engine bay I'm not so sure it's the 2.5 non-aspirated diesel that's in there (though it MIGHT have been retrofitted for the original). The 2.5L engine came out with the 90/110's in the early 80's. It might have the older LR diesel 4 cyl, given the top speed given (2.286L diesel), which is basically a dieselized version of the venerable 4cyl gas engine. If you think the 2.5na is a dog, imagine a 2.286L in a vehicle of this size! Nice looking vehicle though, frame and chassis look very solid.

I was wondering about the engine. He doesn't say much about it and not a whole lot of photos of the engine bay. Neat truck, though.

Supposing a person was interested in this, is it feasible/practical/reasonable/considerable to convert it to LHD, or is that Blasphemy?
