Wanting to install a 6.5 to replace my zd30

[MALS-GU]

$30K + for a conversion, thats drug money, I love my truck but couldnt justify spending that kind of coin, i'd sooner buy a new bus

Problem is if you want a V8 there's not much choice these days, getting off track but i also considered a New 70Series Wagon for a 4x4 with the 4.5lt CRD V8 (instead of Patrol And V8 Conversion) but i want an Auto and they are all Manuals. Wholesale Automatics Melb Quoted me 22Grand! for an Auto Conversion, Far out thats expensive! 70Series is still very dated and basic inside, at least i can do up a nice Ti Patrol with a 6.0lt LSX with Auto Box for around 25k? (I'm gusseing haven't priced that up yet & the old 3.0lt and G/Box must be worth something to sell off to help offset the exchange)
