Hi,

Our 1999 GU 2.8TD patrol is just about to pass 300,000km. We recently did a road trip out from Alice Springs where I went to overtake a road train. (he was doing a 100km/h like normal) I moved to the other side of the road changed to 5th and put my foot down. I didn't even get passed the third trailer. So I came back in behind him.

There is nothing wrong with the body of the patrol and inside has been looked after well so we don't want to sell it.

I have been looking at a new engine. I have heard good reports about Brunswick diesels. The 6.5L chev comes with a new gear box, clutch, exhaust, radiator, 3.9 diff and more. The price I've found is around the $18,000 mark.

My question is will the 6.5L engine be a lot more power then I have had or would it be worth paying more to get the 6.5L with the turbo?

Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
