Been down the road your travelling.

Went as far as body off, bare chassis, VH41 & auto dummied into position, drop cab back on....................no fit. I separated the engine & box, moved the engine forward until I could lower the cab then found the steering column wouldn't go back in, unless I wanted to run it as a V7.

It will fit but you will have to change to rack & pinion steering & figure out how to re-route the steering column. Fabricate some headers to go tight to the block & you'll be sweet. Good luck though, your gonna need it

maybe mount the engine a little higher

Yeah, I tried that too. But I got a bit worried about the Utes centre of gravity so flagged it for a VG30DET instead

I wish I still had all the photos of the swap but I lost it all when my old hard drive crashed.



This is about the only one I can find, the chassis/engine is just to the right of the cab. I do have a photo of the VH41 sitting in the engine but its not a digi photo so I'd have to scan it

Was looking at our work ute (D21 but diesel) looks like the power steer conversion will be simple as

Yeah they are. Just make sure you get all the lines & the rod from the steering column to the box as they are different lengths between Power Steer & Non-power steer (among other things)
