OMG! Pure 100% 4x4 hardcore porn. And the dude who did this wonderful V8 conversion is a photographer (just like me). Jon Wildsmith, I think I've got your next project. Building me a beast to take to South Africa.......You KNOW you want to.

As good as it gets. I wonder on the total cost though.

Spent the whole of last night reading up on the specs of this wonderful Aussie 4x4 muscle car and you know something I've changed my mind. Taking on such a project is pure madness. A better alternative to a transplant for me would be something like a supercharger, a SSS exhaust system and a super large intercooler. Keeping it simple is so much easier to live with day in and day out. Something like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1Z15rgBmMI
A Sprintex Supercharger with a Bullet Intercooler wouldn't take long for Mr Wildsmith to sort out and install.....

The Bullet supercharger kit would liven things up a bit John but have you checked out the landed price probably cheap compared to a 1VD-FTV conversion though, unless you can find a cheap one, but the 1VD-FTV might be easier to live with.

I still think it would bit a less expensive and more viable engine upgrade than a total engine, gearbox and drivetrain conversion. It would also be easier for YOU! John
