Hi guys. I have an abandoned 1989 Mitsubishi Pajero L47 2.6 litres petrol engine with manual tranny sitting at home doing nothing for the past one year. Its my dad's car but ever since he got his Benz, he abandoned this one.

Since the engine is a fuel guzzler and its condition not really 100% anymore, i was thinking of taking over the car and do an engine swap. To diesel / turbo diesel engine of a much more newer model mb late 90s or early 2000 Pajero engines. I am looking at either 2.5 or 2.8 litre. But then if the 2.5 litre is powerful enough then why not.

Any advise? And can i retain the stock gearbox to match with the new engine? How much am i looking at for the conversion?


Some idea of how the car looks like taken from other ppl's car.
