OMG,,,,,,,,,what have you done with all the ZD 30 gear, My last 4x4 was a 75s troopy with a cast iron 350 chev, mild work done,, pretty loud
and combined with twin lockers idled up anything, It did feature on one 4wd TV episode, scared a lot of 4x4s too
After it settles down are you fitting long range tanks lol nah LS1 is your thing from what I know of you
it was only a matter of time eh.
Whats the history on the donor engine??

Iv budgeted 10k... should be pretty close but id say 12-13k max.. you could obviously save money and do things a bit cheaper but i just wanted to do it once and do it right the first time.. the ol saying.. poor man pays twice.. haha

You know you could have done a Cummings 6BT turbo for that... 😆 lol

It's a good looking build. Marks do a great kit hey. They have really thought it threw well..

[mullet_hunter]

I should have 300hp at the treads with a tune.. if anything brakes i can get spare parts pretty much anywhere in aus... 15l per hundred.. plenty of torque and plenty of reliable power upgrades.... if needs be dwn the track.. like heads and cam... no issue with water crossing etc... just look at all the comp trucks these days... engineer has been realy helpful and told me how to word my application so i dont have to get any emissions test done... hopefully get a bit more time to hook into it and finish it.. but pretty happy with my day and a halfs progress...

15-18l is the norm with the right tune... my l98 pulls 11 on the highway... but those figers can change depending on hw u drive.. what ratios u have.. and size of tyres etc...

Sent from my SM-N915G using Tapatalk

[lhurley]

Should see low teens on the highway. 15/100 would be pretty standard for normal driving. I get 12-13 out of my l98 normal driving, 10 on the highway. Add a few extra hundy kilo and that will use a bit more fuel.

Looks like it's a fairly simple conversion. Have been thinking about dropping an ls in my patrol.

Did a bit this arvo.. Mockd up my air intake.. finally got all my electrics sorted.. had a problem with my fuel pump blowing fuses but thats all sorted nw.. was basically earthing out my bulkhead fitting frm the pump.. ie it was making contact with the body when i bolted the tank back up in place.. causing it to arc out.. so i fliped the bulkhead fitting.. had the excess thread going into the tank and the head of the bolt on the top side of the tank... there were like 3 or 4 wires i had to tap into to get everything working mickey mouse.. tacho for dash.. power to ecu and a switch and light setup to manually overide ecu to turn thermo fans on and off for river crossings etc.. was a bit tricky as ecu controls when thermos come on and off... anyways everythings working as per normal on the dash which im pretty happy with.. temp.. oil.. speedo.. tach etc..
Did a final solder of wires and taped up loom... bolted up ecu and fly by wire module up under dash.. happy days..
