I know where there is a 101 2b diesel "project"

 

it's either a series 2 or its a 101. quite a fair bit of difference in these beasts. only similarity is they are forward control. unless someones been hybridising it.

the engine swap was prity easy cos the marmon has separate transfer case so just put in new engine and box and altered the prop from box to transfer case!
