Munga tested and on the road ,have posted a short video on the munga forum ,will try and sort a link later.

I'm happy to exchange information. I have owned my 404 for 11 years ,the engine is the early low compression unit at 6.8 to 1 ,fitted with a impco LPG carb .Hope to get the brakes serviced over the Christmas period, then I can start on the cab which needs some repairs .a few more pics the 401 was my first mog this had a 404 box with a +2 mm over bored om363 running 42ps at 3800 rpm would run up to 90 kph .

My 1958 404s in need of some TCL to body work, looking at fitting a Nissan LD 28 diesel last pic unimog and my munga .

Making the adaptor plate. Inlet manifold modified 1.6l rover car ,inside ports cut and moved over then new flange welded on

The front and engine were remover the day after collection, on inspection mechanics where found to be in good order ,body needed only 100mm x250mm patch to floor on passenger front foot well .all other repairs where from removal of crude top and cage welded on to body .here's a few more pics making adapter and fitting for space ,+The diesel that I first fitted.

No when i acquired my munga it was badly butchered ,in place of the original engine there a 2.5l diesel with extended front and home made hard top.this is my second repower since purchase first I fitted a 784cc 3 cylinder diesel with turbo ,this gave good economy and around 98kph on the governor. I ran this for 5000km before been offered the nissan engine from a friend's car which had rusted out ,this set the current build off as been nearest to the dkw spec at 41kw @ 6000rpm.

A little more on engine install, flywheel nissan unit turned down to take kubota ring gear ,would of yoused munga ring gear but could not find one at the time,steel adapter plate cut by hand ,modern starter located in correct placement to original, points distributor fitted with a thin wall sleeve, 1 3/4"SU carb fitted with modified rover manifold. Will post more pics when resized

I have been reading this thread with interests, this is my solution to the lack of suitable engines in the UK 1000 cc nissan micra 16v twin cam with all electronics removed and offset cooling fan to leave unmodified.

Removed the diesel engine from my munga to improve the manifold gas flow .then got a little carried away, with the result of now having a 1L nissan K11 engine in its place ,removed all electronics replaced by carbon and points distributor ,flywheel reduced in diameter then fitted with kubota ring gear +clutch adaptor

I have a 1963 munga 1000cc Nissan twin cam

Engine is now installed and running ,hope to have it ready for road test by next weekend, have posted a short video of the engine running on the Munga face book group page .Next job is to reline the hand brake .

I do like the vw diesels but there are few of the early 1.6 engines around over here,and they tend to be very expensive .Thanks for the info will keep it in mind if project fails .

My Munga come to me with the front cut out to clear the 2.5 fourtrack engine fitted .The munga engines are very rare here in rebuildable condition ,My work as a plant fitter makes the small diesels easy to obtain here.This is my second build the first was a old 950 cc kubota ,this engine was my test bed for the project giving 80 km/hour on the governor in fourth gear over 100 km of testing .The new engine is a modern high power to weight unit with more room to tweak .Thanks for the data looks like I have the early box ,this engine safely run to 4200 rpm hope to have the cooling system refitted later this week ,then test run on trade plates.will post how it goes.

My question relates to the ratio of speed to engine RPM .Currently i am fitting a 3 cylinder diesel to my munga f91/4, to replace the 2.5 diesel fitted when bought .What RPM should the engine be running at 90 .Currently working on my MK2 build .A few pics of work so far ,MUNGA as bought .MK 1 worked ok but crank worn ,MK 2 work so far .

Just re sized some pics.

I will post some pics as soon as i can re size them ,The engine yoused was 930 cc 3 cylinder unit giving 88 kph on the governors .Thanks for the welcome ,forgot to say that i live in Nottingham England in my first post.

Thought it i should introduce my self ,I rebuilt my first unimog 401 in 1989 ,My current fleet are a 1958 unimog 404s, 1963 munga F91/4 powered by a kubota D950 engine with turbo and inter cooler ,I also collect and youse green radio at shows under my amateur radio licence .
