If your considering the v6 id go a step further and look at the 304 5.0L. Same fuel economy from what i can tell, and the 304 will make a lot more low down torque. Ive just gone from 308 on gas to 304 injected in my 86 single cab and so far i am getting 16 litres/100km, stays cool all the time even ...

For a start, its not a WB ute- there was no such beast. At best, a HQ-HZ ute fitted with a WB front end. And it sure looks like Bundy Bear on the bonnet, so keep that on. 80-83 WB i think, only built utes and statesmans. Wb tuna had round headlights with one big grill. Most stuff in a WB (running ...
