CF FF 4X4 Conversion

Hello all...new to the site and recently proud new owner of a CF2 FF 4x4, with the 2.0 Petrol engine. Absolutely love the vehicle which is done up as a camper van....the only problem being is that it is very underpowered, and the losses through the viscous coupling means that mpg is poor (and it's very noisy). I am toying with the idea of a conversion to a newer, larger Diesel engine, preferably with 2WD/4WD switchable functionality. I was just wondering if anyone had ever done anything similar and if there was any case studies of other engine/running gear combinations that would or could be made to fit easily without too much bodywork etc.....any help gratefully recieved.

Cheers

there is nothing that will fit directly in place of your engine/gearbox set up.

but with a bit of hard work you could fit a disco/range rover lump in place..

most prefer to remove the 4x4 system all together and fit a replacement front axle and gearbox and run as a 2wheeled drive unit. this will make a slight benefit to the fuel consumption.
