V8

Engine size being equal, give me a strokey straight six over a shorter-stroke V8 any day, for a 4WD at least. If I had the choice between a 5.15L stroker kit for a TB48 and a 5.0 commodore donk, I think the choice would be pretty darn easy. But even without any extra stroke I'd rather have the TB48....

couldnt agree with you more, like all diesels, regular oil changes and good clean filters are a must. Why do the pistons fail so much in the 3 litre engines, surely they must be leaning out or piss poor fuel. :?:

skeg, you should always join the draw bar under the body not level or past the front so you can weld both parts securely to the under side and dont weld across the top of the draw bar to the body it will flex and it will break, it needs to flex. i build trailers, www.trailermade.com.au cheers steve
