Tarzan's V8 GU

[Tarzan]

Only recently bought this one,
All new work recently done is a injected 6lt Chevy fitted, Koni Suspension, Mickey Thompson rims with 285 BFG AT's, full front / rear / side / ARB barwork, Snorkel, Matt Black paint, Manta exhaust system,

parts in my shed still to fit when I get 5 seconds to myself, finish off dual battery install, fit spotlights to bar, and LED light bar to roof racks...

Things to buy and fit when I get more time in the near future, new stereo with reversing camera (so I can see where the tinny trailer dissappeared to when backing it over a hill), rear drawers, water tank, front mounting point fabricated for a hayman reece style receiver for the winch cradle (so I get a front or rear recovery point for the winch)

They look soooo right in the engine bay.
Look forward to some around town and Hwy fuel figures
From memory not as thirsty as a 4.8

Matt black= stealth ?

Jane happy!?

She's a bit thirsty at the moment, but the motors new and so is my desire to keep nailing it to the floor... guessing (hoping) that it will improve as it loosens up, get it redyno'd and place a few egg shells under the loud pedal.

Around town with approx 70 litres I got about 400kms (17.5 /100) but that did include a fair bit of heavy trailer towing which isn't as bad as one of my 80 series I owned, 4.5 auto, that when fully loaded up got around 700kms to both tanks (145lt) on the highway. 20lt/100kms at best, even worse around town.

and may need to work on the diff ratios a little, currently pulling 2500 in 5th at 110km/h, might be the excuse I need for pulling it down and fitting lockers at the same time...

thinking about a Auto conversion too? yep it never ends
