I would check out this board. It looks like most of the guys on there are from other countries where they get all the cool diesels. There might be more experience to glean knowledge from. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

On a side note I am looking into doing the same swap but with a '98 or '99 Rodeo. From what I have found the 3.0 and the 3.1 are the more powerful options. Good luck with the search and post up what you decide.

1997 Isuzu Rodeo - Auto - 31" ATs
1995 Honda Passport - 1 tons - 39" Boggers
