I have a mid 49 80 inch, which is a basket case. It had a perkins P3
diesel fitted, with a steel conversion plate to match the original
gearbox. It fitted onto the standard chassis engine mounts. I still have
the engine, and gearbox(ring pull) but they have not run for many years.
The perkins P3 is a 3 cylinder diesel, (not the fastest of vehicles, but
interesting). It all fitted very neatly into the 80, with only a small
modification to the bell housing for the starter motor. <br><br>
