Hey all. this is my first post on this forum. I am wondering if someone can give me some info on a Isuzu motor i have just bought. all i know about it is the Engine Number "5-075-1B" so far i haven't been able to find anything besides the fact that it is Diesel, has 4 Cylinders, and isn't a turbo. any info that anyone can give would b handy. I know it is a pretty old motor 4 starters. i got it in a Series 3 Landrover. and i am looking at transfering it into my Series 3 Landrover Game Limited Edition. Mainly because the orginal motor is pretty much shot. if anyone else has this motor in there Series 3 Landrover. i would like 2 know how u put it in. because the current way that it is installed into the other one is kinda a bit scrapy. anyway thanx in advance.

CAN YOU POST A COUPLE OF PIX OF THE ENG ,ONE OF THE FRONT EACH SIDE AND ONE OF THE REAR , PROB CAN THEN IDENTIFY IT JERRY

Cast into the block, on RH side of engine near the water pump if I remeber rightly will be the engine number. Quite often it's buried under years of crud

well that is where i got the engine number from. and it is still in a Series 3 Landrover so it is going to b hard to get pics of it. but i will c what i can do.

Yes thats the engine number, as in serial number, on a small rivited in plate, but what we are all looking for is the engine type, which is cast into the block in raised cast letters. Maybe it is eleswhere on the block?

No i got it from ezactly where u said and it was "5-075-1B". there isn't any silver plate and i have looked all over it. oh one other peice of info that might help is that it is a has an old mecanical stop. no elctronic one. which to me means it is really really old.

THE MORE YOU DESCRIBE THAT ENG IT SOUNDS LIKE IT MAY BE AN ADAPTED INDUSTRIAL ENG , JERRY

OK i don't think it is a industial one. but hopefully today if my camera doesn't play up i will get some photos up.

Righto. i have finally got some pics to show. so here u go. btw i couldn't get much better angles then that. because the motor is still in another Series 3. like i have already said. also i do have higher quality ones but well i only have dial-up so i shrank them down so they wouldn't take to long to upload or view

As u can c defently a Isuzu. oh yeh i know it is missing it theromsat as well.

WELL I GOT BACK TO 1987 AND IT ITS NOT THERE , WILL CHECK SOME MORE TOMORROW AND SEE IF I CAN GO BACK TO THE EARLY 80,S , MAY FIND SOMETHING YET DEFINATELY IS AN ENG THAT WAS NOT USED IN THE U.S. VEH.. JERRY
