    Default How hard?

    I've just managed to wreck the head of my 1.5 diesel nova van thanks to the cam pulley bolts coming loose how hard would it be for me to replace the 1.5 for a 1.7td? what would i need? is it a simple drop in and go? would i be able to mate the 1.7 to my current gearbox and engine mounts? or does anyone know where i can get a new/recon/second hand head from?

    if you are planning to fit the isuzu 1.7, then i believe you need to swap the cam covers/front oend of engine over. but i'm not sure if the f13 could handle the power & a change to an f18 box & bigblock driveshafts might be needed

    right and by changing the driveshafts that would mean change of hubs aswell or could i clip the bigblock drivshafts into the small block outer cv's?

    you would basically need to get big block conversion shafts if your inner cv's can't be swapped over.
