    Best engine conversion shop in Melbourne?

    Hi just wondering if anyone knows where would be the best place to take my GU for an engine swap? I have heard of 3 places, 4x4 Obsession, 4b Fabrications, and AUS4wd and was wondering if anyone has had experience with any of them or know of other places that are good at engine conversions.

    Brett at 4wdObsesson is a great guy and does Heaps of conversions. zD to TD and ZD to LS. His shop would be doing a couple a week I reckon.

    Drive in drive out service, mild to wild. He also has a 4 wheel Dyno and can give you a Dyno read out in 4H. Very cool.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    4x4 Obsession or JPC were my first two thoughts. Just don't EVER take your car to Turbo Engineering. You will have to mortgage your house to pay for your car after he's touched it. Knows what he's doing but it comes with a big ticket...
