Re: A can of worms
The plan is to run the cantor transmission followed by a DANA tranfercase. Having moved the rear axle backwards 7 inches, I have a bit of room to play with. My biggest concern is finding a Cantor engine with an Automatic trans. Most are standard and I do not want to have to try and put all the linkage in, but will if I have too. Nothing else has been simple on this thing!!!

I will throw in support for a Mercedes 300D engine too!
I also have a G-wagon and I transplanted a turbo 617a into it last summer.
The G is almost the same weight as my Delica but smokes it for both power and fuel economy. 'New' engine is an '85 with 350,000kms on it and it runs like a top. The previous engine was a naturally aspirated 617 from a '76 sedan with over 600,000km on it. The reputation of these engines is well deserved. It is very easy to find parts, info, and knowledgeable mechanics that like to work on them.
It would be awesome to run this engine in a deli...no offense to the 2.5 it's fine :)
