what is the better option out of the 3 motors (RWD 86kW,FWD 86kW, FWD 100kW)
|
I wouldnt bother redoing a 86Kw, stick to the 100Kw and convert it to RWD youll be happier with the outcome

cut and shut the inlet manifold to mount the throttle body on the opposite side, obtain a RWD outlet pipe (I'm assuming water) remote thermostat, unless RWD water pump is found (I think...) and find some RWD 4AC engine mounts.
|
yep cut and shut and remount the throttle body if youre looking for someone to do it send me an email and ill put you onto the right bloke  .
you dont neccesarily need a remote thermostat ( I should really rewrite that article  ) a better way is this....take a rwd water pump off a 4AC split it in half keep the back half with the thermostat housing and buy a new FWD front half pump from repco or other , that is of course if you prefer to run a thermofan to reduce parasitic drag otherwise just use the whole 4AC pump with the clutch fan.
just use the rwd arms and mounts of your current 4AC ( im assuming by your avatar you allready have a sprinter) or goto P&PL and find an ae71 to get them off, dont forget to get the g/box backing plate while youre at it.

Buying a RWD water outlet for the back of the head (approx $70)

I wouldnt be paying more than about $30 if you have trouble finding it at this price let me know

cut&shut the 100kw inlet manifold (using a different one will result in port mismatching
|
depends what you mean by a different one...you cant use a 86Kw inlet on a 100Kw head and vice versa but you can use any 100Kw inlet on any 100Kw block

the cheapest option invariably is not the best, i have found this out a few times.

Oh so true

buy a froncut if you want the engine to run nice without too much screwing around.
|
for a 4AGE I wouldnt waste my money getting a half cut...maybe get an engine package because thats all you really need, but you can get stuff locally cheaper than what most importers will sell it to you for, a good place to start looking is a damaged car auction for a bargain or a specialist wrecker like Grahams in Smithfield
