where can I get the engine from have been searching for ages and have not found anyone delivering to Australia
engine code: k9k 700/704

most likely place to get one from is the UK and then get them to send it over....

You're going to need a lot of stuff though - loom, computer, bonnet (?) instrument cluster, maybe even the fuel tank. It's going to be an enormously expensive conversion for, what I reckon, would be an average outcome.

I also second that ^^^ I reckon you wouldn't see much change out of $10k

Easily.

And I reckon a G16B would still feel better to drive.

I too have looked at this option but couldn't work out a cheaper option to do it... I want to swap to a diesel for a couple of reasons. Diesel more readily available remotely than 95 unleaded or quality unleaded. But the main been that the company I work for in the mining infustry dont allow petrol on site. I was thinking different options like a old hilux or rocky engine or similar something old school less electric. And I feel the parts would be more available locally. ... what do you knowledgeable people think of that idea? Do you think it could be done cost effective and also achieve a cruising speed of 90 -110 as that's all I'm used to any way. Any opinions or advice appreciated

This has been covered quite extensively. Buying a hilux or similar would be the easiest option... Next best option if you really wanted a diesel jimny... Import one or wait for them to come to Australia

So not worth the time and money. I thought a hilux/rocky engine would be cheap an simple.. far to many other problems to deal with. Might just keep renting utes when I go in field for work... or maybe put a diesel badge on the jimny that might keep origin off my back. As for fuel problems ill just need to bring more fuel with me when traveling remotely.

1.5 DDiS wasn't available in the UK, not in a Suzuki anyway.
