Hi I’m new to this forum I’m Steve from Bedfordshire. I’ve recently invested in a sumb which apart from the Diesel engine conversation seems original and in very good condition . This vehicle was for some years on display in a museum so has enjoyed a life of ease and comfort !
The V8 had been removed and a daihatsu 2.8 turbo Diesel engine married up to the synchro gearbox producing around 100 hp or so I’m informed that we may be able to tune a few more horses out of the lump if needed . I’ve got a local auto electrician tidying up the wiring then we should be good to go . I’ll perhaps post some pictures sometime . Cheers Steve
