Ok I figured it’s time for a long over do build thread


I have a 2001 Kaiser Silver VX that’s in need of a new heart. I’m kinda new to forums and I will do my best to document everything as I go along.


My Goal is a full diesel conversion while maintaining the Vx’s original form and function

The plan was to drop a 4bt that is sitting in my garage, but that prove futile due to the weight and size restrictions of the front end. I ended up choosing a mechanical 4jg2 with an Aisin-Warner 3-40le auto with my existing TOD transfer case. Plus I wanted to maintain the Isuzu name throughout the whole build. I am a novice and by no means a professional. I welcome your questions or ideas as I embark on this possible pointless journey.
