Hello Guys, am restoring a 4.5tonn recovery truck.
The old diesel engine shot.would or is it possible to fit 5.7 petrol
Engine and Autobox is it still possible to have it motd at hgv
Station, or does it have to be a diesel ,any help would
Be great.have looked at a few HGV Stations and say no petrol powerd engines 
How old is it?
Does it actually need an MoT?
Yer its 1986 so think it will need one
Go on the old timers site, lots of those guys have old trucks, plenty of info and experience over there.

Looks like am having the diesel taken out of me 
Many moons ago. I was driving a Bedford 7.5. It was powered by a Vauxhall 3.3 petrol engine from a Vaux Velox, I think. That was 41 years ago though. 
told people, I am an old Bastuard lol

I’d of thought it would be ok, but i’ve no idea for sure. But the Landrover Forward Controls must be around 4.5 T, and they have 3.5 Rover V8’s fitted. Look into how they do it ?
You can fit any engine to any vehicle you want. If its petrol it will need to meet the emissions standards for petrol engines of the year of registration of the vehicle - they’re blanket specifications, not per vehicle so it doesn’t matter the truck never came in petrol.
The ministry can still MOT it.

The TJ certainly and I think the TK both being available with the 6 cylinder petrol options anything being better than the 4 cylinder diesel in the TJ.
