Just found a 383 stroker kit for $800 from the states delivered.
My son is giving my cast iron 350 motor to me, not for the patrol though
maybe an early one tonner etc lol

I have found a hell of a lot of "mechanic's" dont know diddly-squat about 3l patrols
I think the 2 biggest things for you to investigate is
1) put in the lift pump.......... for ALL the reasons in Big_Fletch's thread - very logical and simple
2) have a look at fitting a second or even a third extra Earth from the motor to the chassis & gearbox to the chassis - worst thing about Patrols is Earths
my old GQ used to play up in Gas, sometimes start, some times not, sometimes run great cold, but not hot, sometimes run great hot, but not cold, relays get power sometimes, sometimes not..... etc
........ could never work out why, one day, while underneath running some cable for Anderson plug, I thought......."mmmm I might put in an extra earth from Gbox to Chassis while I'm here" - well bugger me with a stick, the Gas stopped playing around
and ran beautifully all the time
I had the same problem, ended up tearing a part of the trim to which this didn't help at all.
It came down to constantly opening and closing locking mechanism and opening an closing door mechanism at the same time until it opened, took about 10mins of doing this before the door came free.
Once opened and removing the whole lock mechanism, I found a small part broke inside, a call around to local parts supplier almost gave me a heart attack, I swear they quoted me prices for gold plated locks, after some deep thinking and a can of ale, I ended up heading to Supercheap and buying some small bits an pieces for less than $10, dismantled, replaced bits, reassembled, installed and the lock is working perfect, it will out last all the other locks.
Once I figured out how and what needed to be done, it's a piss easy job now.
its been diagnosed by two diesel specialist both are telling me its the injection pump.. will try a lift pump, try another couple earth straps but def not keen on paying the 4 plus k to get it fixed... i looked at baileys diesel group... they can do a change over unit for $2350.. this might be an option if i cant find a cheap 2nd hand unit..
the carter pump is at least cheapish to do and what have you to lose nothing.
but gain a constant fuel pressure
Hookd up lift pump late last night.. no improvemnt... u win some.. u lose some.. stil not ready to giv up on her jus yet tho..
Bummer not good mate
