Not a hard job,

Im guessing its a GM engine in there at the moment? if so you would need to find a gm td lump

Not the isuzu one unless you want to start pissing about, although the Isuzu lump is pretty tuneable

Both the GM and the Isuzu engine will bolt up to the same gearbox, so you can throw either in.
