Hi everyone.
As I mentioned in my introduction post I'm considering replacing my near new triton with a GU patrol so I can use it in the bush with fear of damage. I do however want more power from one if I go down that road. Enter the engine conversion.
At this stage I'd be going for either a 6.5ltr diesel or an LS1. I'm leaning towards the LS1 only because I believe it would be a more cost effective conversion (correct me if I'm wrong).
I have done a search in the engine forum for all posts with 6.5ltr diesel in them but didn't realy find anything that spoke about how well the conversion is going after the fact. IE, Fuel consumption, driveability, towing ect.
So, are there any 6.5ltr diesel GU owners out there that would be willing to share a little bit about the conversion and how its working out for you?
As I'm only in the initial stage of this project I'm trying to gather as much info/advice as I can so I can make an informed decision.
I'll be putting up a similar post about the LS1 also.
Cheers in advance
Dan
