VAUXHALL has dropped the Isuzu 2.8 litre direct injection from its Frontera engine range and switched to an all new Italian-built 2.5 litre turbo diesel from VM Motori.
depends on the cc's I guess

but Is that not aVM engine also?
Nope, the 2.5 is the VM - not a bad engine if they work :S
The 2.8 is an isuzu lump, but the trooper one has 90bhp, the frontera has a front mounted intercooler, tweeked fuel pump and puts out 115bhp with about 250 ft lb of torque, and they are 10 a penny due to them being in frontera's

they weren't built to be quick and there is not alot you can do to make it faster.
there is not direct diesel engine swap. any diesel engine you want to swap will involve some hassle and problems connecting the electrics.
speed = 4ltr petrol

I'm not sure which vehicles have the 5.9 Cummins over here - they're fitted to the larger dodge pickups in the US. My sister's horse lorry has one and it's a massive , heavy f#cker - I don't think you'd ever get it into the engine bay of a Cherokee.

Leyland Roadrunner, Leyland Swift midi bus/chassis. But just cus it says Cummins 5.9
on it doesn't mean it's the same as the 5.9 in a RAM 3500. The 5.9 is very tall and
a straight six, so it's probably too long.
