Nice job! I converted my factory 1985 110 4bd1 with the LT95 to an Isuzu MSA5G gearbox which was just awful haha! then I found a mob in Windsor Sydney that do conversion kits for 4bd1 to R380 using a modified LT85 flywheel housing. A lot have said that the R380 will not stand up well to the torque pulses of the 4bd1 and it will wreck the gearbox very quick but so far all is well. I bought a strengthened R380 from Ashcroft just to be sure! If you ever need any bits for your 4bd1 landy look up KLR Automotive in Windsor, Sydney. They are all over it.
On my setup I am using the 4bd1t from a cab forward truck.
It has a huge flywheel and clutch, and I use the original truck bell housing and clutch lever etc
WAY bigger than the Rover V8 style clutch - I seem to recall it was a shade over 12 inch diameter and the flywheel was massive
This dampens down the pulses and the R380 is as smooth as silk - 7 years on and no issues at all!
Just bought 110 with a 3.5 litre Isuzu diesel engine in it when I get to work on it I'll take some photographs and show you the are they done it 😁👍
Thanks mike always wanted to see that. I’ve the 2.8 Isuzu engine & gearbox in mine 👍🥃
No problem 👍
This is great!
Hi Mike I love the videos. I’m currently putting a Cummins 6bt in a 110 sw that used to be a td5. Keep up the good work. Matt
Well done Matt- let's see some video!
@@BritannicaRestorations I have just uploaded a short video to CZcams. It's the only one I have at the mo.

Very impressive
Somewhat agricultural but it works and it was cheap!
thankyou for share detail video
My pleasure
Thanks heaps Mike, That looks pretty well thought out and reasonably straight forward. I would have a question or two about the input shaft/clutch plate set up when you are not so busy.
drop me a line - it is pretty much straight forwards BUT remember I used the GM clutch - if you were to use the Perentie motor, it will bolt to the R380 box using the LT95 bell housing - but I am not sure of the lengths - the V8 box had a longer shaft
There was a company in Oz making bell housings, but I cannot recall who they were
klrautomotive.com.au/bellhousing-4bd1-to-r380/ in Western Sydney.
@@bigm383 Well done. That is what is brilliant about CZcams, you weren't even in the chat but within 2 hours you have helped out and solved the problem
@@bigm383 Thanks, that's great. Mikes way looks cheaper though😊
@@BritannicaRestorations Thanks again Mike.
Hi Mike , on the Isuzu bell housing what lubricates the bearing in it now it is not part of the main box running in oil ?
Did you swop it out for a pre- sealed one ?
Regards Karl
pre sealed bearing
@@BritannicaRestorations Thank's 👍👍

They do not like the R380 but mine has been working well for the last 3 years
