Pajerokid, I sympathize.


Swapping to a 4M40 makes good sense. Kaya ako nahirapan is because nobody guided me and it was all trial and error. Anyhow, I studied how Diamond Motors do it (yes, they have done a couple of swaps/conversions already), and some of the modifications I did was really superfluous and unnecessary if only the "salpak" measurements were exact.

If you will swap to 4M40, I can recommend you to Diamond Motors. I suggest also that you buy surplus and bring along a good mechanic (I can also recommend one to you). Bringing it to Diamond will save you a lot of headache later on. If you do decide, I can introduce you to the Head of Technical/Services of Diamond.

If you decide to proceed with your overhaul, I personally suggest that you buy OEM parts. Try El-Dorado, they are cheaper than ATCO by a mile!
