96' van with a 2.8 diesel engine . are these the same motors that came out in the 93' LN106's! And do they drop into the trucks ok .or are there differences like throttle, mounts etc. Cheers.

Cheers, thanks man. The luxy truk hasn't actually got a 2.8 in it at the moment . its got a 2LT in it. And I was just looking to upgrade . I wonder if some the 2L stuff is interchangabe with the 3L stuff! I'll have to do what you reckoned and have a side by side look see. Cheers.

2L and 3L look identical, so parts should be interchangable.

Pre 89 2L-T is different to the post 90
I think most 2.4L /2.8L /3L 90 onwards to about 96 are the same block mountings in commercial type vehicles
