Use Carsales.com.au to find the model your interested in then check the specs section, it's lifted straight from manufacturers specs.

Re: 5.0 Ltr Holden In A Patrol

Dont do it, use a Chev V8, its narrower , which means easier access to plugs etc, Dellows have kits for various chev motors.
I did a 308 in a G60 - awesome , but it had lots of issues doing it and living with it because it was so wide in comparison to a Chev.

I did (after our last convo about them) but they were out of stock. Back in stock now it seems. Is that 200 per light? yep, $199 per light for the big ones $119 ( I think) for the little ones Same price for spot or spread units , If you do buy, buy 2 x spot units - they have excellent spread anyway

I would have taken either the refund or the fitment of a replacement tank .

I wouldn't have bothered with a protracted discussion/battle particularly when you have ongoing concerns as to the structural integrity of the tank.
