GU 2.8 or 3.0l?

I have thought about a GQ TD42 and then transplanting the motor out of it when a GU turns up. A TD42T will set me back $10k anyway, so having a rolling GQ to sell will help.

Decisions decisions.

Why would you stick a 3 liter when you can put a 4.2 in from the get go ? ?
Be advised a 2.8 has different gear box which would also need to be changed out of going up to 3 liter or 4.2.
However, I believe the 3 liter gearbox can be used for the 4.2

I am not sure why you thought I was going to stick a 3.0l in? I will be living with what ever it comes with until a TD42 comes along. Unless I pick up a GU with a dead motor. :)
