Diesel engine conversion

Hi guys I have a question, I have a 2.7 Hilux 99 that I want to stick a 3,0 D motor into . Is the gearbox and diff compatible? This is only a farm vehicle so no tar road driving . Comments will be appreciated.

I think you will need a new bellhousing and the gear ratios will be different to account for the lower torque of the petrol motor, so you might need a new gearbox as well. Why are you wanting to change?

Thanks, easier to keep diesel on the farm as all the equipment is diesel

Might be easier to sell and get another bakkie 2nd hand? Definitely cheaper than a conversion
