i have been looking at the JAPAN emisson take outs. so yea used.

Japan deals with emissions in a very strange way.

when you get to 40,000 - 60,000 miles....you are required to replace your engine or get a new ride. or something along those lines.

the big issue ive ran in to is the 2.8 and newer Isuzu passenger car diesels where never sold in the USA as a on road engine. only as a off road engine.

we only got the 2.2L and 1.8L diesels, with the older MSG trans tell 87.

since the 2.8L uses the MUA trans and theres no way to put a MSG diesel housing on a MUA trans, we have to get the trans with the engine......OR......
they used the same trans even with the same gearing in the USA with the 2.6L gas, so really all we need is a pallet or two of the diesel housings. and buy the engines with out the trans.

where trying to get a group buy, this will be the 2nd time
1st time was 4 engine/trans combos.
