A little more progress today. Before this engine showed up, I took an educated gamble based on other forums I had read and ordered a timging belt from Isuzu (#8943806790) and they were able to order it for me. Today I took off the timing belt cover and luckily that is the same number as the belt that's on there. So, if you need a timing belt, at least one with that number, you can get one from Isuzu. It was more expensive that what Anthony bought. I paid $150 and I think his was condiderably less, even shipped from UK. Just an option. That all went pretty smooth.

I also pulled the fuel tank today. I need to remove the petrol fuel pump. My quandry now is what to replace it with so I'll be able to use the full tank of fuel. (I'm haven't taken the pump assembly out just yet and am assuming I'll need to add a little lenght to the pickup based on research I had done for Toyotas). Adrian, what did you do for this? Your Trooper was originally petrol, no?

Still waiting on getting the transmission brackets made. Hopefully this week.

That's it for today.
