Hi
I used to have a Perkins 4023 in my 109, but it had to go I'm afraid.
It pulled like a train, but I took it in for a service one day
(fuel injector overhaul), and it blew its piston rings on the way
back.

It was made for the Spanish export market
(an E in the serial number I think),
and the spare parts were not available.

I have a Perkins manual and some injector pipes (definitely), and some
fuel/oil
filters still left (I think).

e-mail me, and we can sort something out.

If you don't already, you will need a new bell housing
to mate the engine to the clutch, and a new exhaust
manifold adapter. I seem to remember that the radiator
needed moving forward slightly, as well.

4203 means 4 cylinders, 203 cubic inches.
203 * 2.54 * 2.54 * 2.54/1000 = 3.326 litres

best wishes (and good luck!)
Alan
