Can't wait to follow the progress.
I see you are in LA, how do you plan on getting it to pass smog or the referee station? I still haven't taken my BMW E30 with M3 transplant to the referee station b/c I am scared of all the regulations and that is still gas with all smog equipment intact.

I know that California is a lot stricter but all in all, EPA says that. Its a medium duty diesel available in a vehicle of the same, or newer, vehicle and same weight class, so you should be okay. I would check with your DEQ first though as I know that the CARB does EPA+ type rules and regs.

I believe the HS2.8 is no longer available through Steven Cahill. Would love to know if that's true or not.

today it was time to unwrap the 6.2. it was clear that gm flywheel was much larger. and that means the bell housing from the zf 22 wont work without major mods, no problemo at allas far as the engine the size of the 6.2 is very much the same as 3.9

Couldn't you just use the smaller gm flex plate on it?

i could use that but then what do i do with the huge starter? and larger flywheel is also good for the diesel during cranking as a leverage for the starter.
and even if i use smaller flywheel i still had to change the entire bolt pattern on the zf22 trans. as u see from the pics the back section of the 6.2 is completely deferent than rover v8

Awesome! Can't wait to see how you get on, I'm very tempted by the 6.2!

I'm sure you've considered this....but what is the design limit for torque input on the ZF trans, and how does that compare with the NA 6.2?
Inquiring minds....
Don't worry, you're biodegradable.
