Started life as a 2.4l 5 spd

It now has the R2.8l and a 6 spd.

I’ve completed the swap but had an issue trying to use the original computer to have gauges. gave up on that and the no bus issue so I ordered a complete sweep of auto meter gauges. I’m still wiring those in. Along with trying to figure out how to wire the electric fan in.

not to sure if I will leave the back plate gold. Will probably end up painting it black.

Is that the original gauge cluster shell, just gutted out? I'm getting close to building mine and looking for any tips!
 
I'm hoping I can get something close to yours! Really like the look and finish. Do you have any more pics of during and after the build?

i will see if i can find some more build pictures.

i must have used at least three cereal boxes until i had the template i was satisfied with then i transferred it all to some thin aluminum.

i’ve got to pull the Fuel gauge out so i’ll take a shot of the backside too

Great swap! Looks fantastic. Can it run on other fuels (like other diesels can flex) or must it be diesel?

i haven’t read into that, i only thing i know on the big diesels it takes additional filters for other types of fuel oils

just found this on the ole internets
