2008 wagon 6.0L V8 conversion

[MudRunnerTD]

When your finally rolling mate keep an eye on your system. Danny (Dung Beetle) from Your 4x4 did an LS2 into his 80 and a PWR radiator and twin thermo setup and had ongoing issues with stray current and electrolysis. I think 0.8v or something was all it was but was enough to start eating things and was unmanageable.
It cost his 6 months of chasing ghosts and gallons and gallons of vinegar trying to flush the block hoping his problem was in the LS2!

He ended up ripping out the awesome looking PWR cooler and going with a standard Copper 80 series cooler and his stray current disappeared.

He went the 6 speed auto out of the HSV donor car too.

I was in his car last night and he did a couple of kick downs from slow and FFFAAARRRRRKKKKKKKKK MEEE! Very very similar to both my TD42ss Not! I wear a Neck brace now!

I'm very interested to see how these tyres perform, my last two sets have been Mickey Ts (MTZ and Claws) but after good reports I decided to go back to BFG

Cheers mudrunner for the heads up.
I have seen some of Danny's conversion on the show, good to hear some feedback.
I was actually speaking to Simon the other day about running 35's on the factory rims. I also offered him the car while he is here in Perth in November, if he wanted it for the show. Just awaiting his reply.
I'm really hanging out to get this thing back on the road.

Simon is just back from a Simpson crossing with the show sponsors in the last week and was away for 2 weeks. he has come back with a week to get ready for the Melbourne 4x4 show this weekend so a fair bit on his plate, give him a bell via email next week and follow him up on your offer Russ and he might even take you up on that. At worst you might get a "Your Rig" out of it and a nice prize pack to boot.

Make sure you got forum stickers on your car when the time comes Russ.

If you have any other questions about Danny's car pm him here, or too the show and he would be happy to chat i am sure. I'd be able to hook you up with him mate as i see him nearly daily. That is Danny's Head i am shoving under the wheel arch in my avatar

Cheers mate much appreciated. I assumed he would be flat out.

Im mates with Jeff from Ultimate 4wd here in Perth (show sponsor) and figured Simon might be chasing something while he was over here. Not really wanting anything out of it, plenty of others more deserving of receiving prizes and the like. Who is the best to speak to about forum stickers.
