I looked and saw the car had done 700,000km, I wasn't impressed but thought it was a good opportunity to see how it drove. It drove quite well, then I told the salesman where to go!

Thanks for the info aaron. Do you mind if i ask you a few questions about the conversion?
I just got a price for everything I would need for a factory TD42T upgrade and it was ~$9500. Not to bad I think.
BearGUST, I wonder how many 3.0l it takes to make 700k?

aaron yeah I was thinking of swaping out my 2.8td as well, so if I may bother you too
did you use the 2.8 diffs & tailshafts ?
& a bloke down here said the engine mounts on the chassis are to be moved but from what I've seen the 2.8 & 4.2 chassis measure up the same
but the later 3.0 chassis is different, did you just use the 4.2 engine mounts & rear crossmember & dropped it straight in ?
Cheers & any help is excelent Help

shor hammer to easy
mate the 4.2 will drop in no probs there just use 4.2 mounts the cross membe is the same as the 2.8's you just need a 4.2 box and mounts. now for the tail shaft you will need 1 from a 4.2 as well. i used my
2.8 diffs tho u will need to change the yok to fit the 4.2 tail shaft. now as for the 3.0l not to shor what the go is there??????
