Price of donk?

its actuallt pretty good on fuel... now with the straight gas getting around 4.5-5.5 kays per litre on the highway taking it easy... around town it gets 3.5-4.. and towing around 2 kays.. donk by itself was around the 7.5 mark

Awesome.! Did you keep the Toyota Auto.? How does it go.? I would say he did as thats a conversion kit from the chev to the auto. thanks guys... yer your right.. we kept the auto.. we just down stalled the converter because with the amount of torque, if we left the standard one it would come in at ...

farkk, very nice boat ay... how many ft is it? and dont worry, an f250, will tow that and you wont even feel it..

We want to convert our car and put a v8 inside but were having trouble deciding whats the best v8, We need a motor with lots of torque that will ...
