Hi i want to swap out my tb42 with a td42 my tb has only done 45000k but it is dam thirsty. To do the conversion will i have to change the torque converter and bell housing as the diesel revs lower will that effect the stall. I know the bloke at the wreckers he has offered of all of the parts i need for the conversion and the reco td42 for 00 does that sound like a fair price he has said if there is anything i have forgotten just go back and get it at no extra charge so im really just buying the wreck but he is pulling out all the parts i need sounds fair to me but it is my first motor swap so any advice is a big help.

Tip:
Amongst other items to check are bar mounted electric winches. These components may not be used for extended periods and when they're needed you may find they have seized up. If the winch has been submerged in water it is advisable to strip it and grease it accordingly. A quick operation of it after a crossing may prove it still works, but you may find out when it seizes that you washed all the grease out 6 months ago! A water crossing is something that should not be taken too lightly as it has the potential to do expensive engine and drive-train damage. However, with the right 4x4 preparation and post crossing maintenance, you can enjoy some of the most challenging 4WDriving around.
