I Love this truck, and refuse to junk it... I jst need to find a more decent cylinder head than what I have got. So far no luck... I saw somewhere in Manila there's lots of parts for these? Anyone got any leads?

is it O.k. to convert the d50 to svo I am thinking of getting a 1986 4x4 and I haven`t done a conversion before

Look for a Toyota head, they're the same, but equally as rare, also the 86 block fits the same specs.

I'd like to think so but the engine is very very sensitive. I now have an '86 block in an 83 that runs very well but at the first instance of water clams up and I'm still not sure what the issue is. But with 3k on a brand new rebuild I'm dealing with a knock that's either a bearing or injection failure and threatens to throw a rod. I'll post my symptoms in a new topic.
