I myself would stay with 4.2 turbo diesel. Strong, reliable, and more economical than V8 ford.

I would agree too Bluey but your 3 litre is still going isn't it?
Do you know exactly what is happening with the current 3lt motor. Why is it on its way out, what exactly is going wrong with it?

Hey bluey i would keep away from the clevland good power but to thirsty so gas would be a must and then if you go on long trips always looking for a place that sells gas .The TD42 with turbo upgrade and intercooler are a strong reliable setup , factory parts fit and done right will go for many km,s .I'm not a expert on the 3ltrs but what i've been told is the airflow meter plays up the tune goes out i think they richen up so they go well but then it kills them
The V8 diesel is also a good setup but expensive to fit
