Starting a 5.0L TB42E Conversion

[Shedanigans]

Probably picked the worst patrol to convert, tb42e and auto. Pulled the dash and seats out so i can remove all the uneeded wiring from the efi and auto. 2 days on it so far and still got a heap of wires to trace and potentially remove.

Good luck mate. I know a couple of guys that have had this conversion and it was underwhelming. Consider an LS1 for the sake of doing the work. A far better option

How is it done? Just bore increase or do you use a different crankshaft?
What are the expected power and torque figures?
Aftermarket EFI computer I suppose?

Replying here with half a Friday Night eye open BZ Mate, believe they may be discussing the 308ci /5.0L Holden motor conversion maybe?
