Background
This site is intended to document the process of converting a 1988 Isuzu Trooper to diesel power.
The engine used is the Isuzu 4JB1-TC, a 2.8 liter direct-injection intercooled turbo diesel, which was available in this chassis outside the United States.
Since I'm located in the Twin Cities (St. Paul, MN, USA to be more precise) I had to import the drivetrain from Japan. I received a complete engine and transmission through an importer in Florida for a good price. It's claimed that the engine/transmission have around 45k miles on them, and judging by the appearance of the parts, I'm inclined to believe it.
Here is a photo of the donor chassis, before any work was performed.
