We can probably both agree that neither is a good choice for a 98 Jackaroo with a dead Isuzu V6 :)

Yeah, go the 3.5, its easy & cheaper than any other option I would say & its not a bad angine anyway, Im surprised it has expired.
Don't ask me, ask them. I'm just runnin for my life myself.

The 2.8 diesel is mechanical, I'm sure the 3.1 diesel can be made mechanical as well.

First time I've heard a commodore V6 called economical too.
Drove a V6 Commodore on a country trip and it was getting 8 litres per 100 km. That is economical.
16l/100k for me in a VZ tonner :cry:

;) they are not a V6 they are straight 6
The 3.8 litre buick motor in a commodore is a V6.

You may be thinking of the superior falcon inline 6? Or the nissan engines holden used for a little while?
...hmm...strange....
i remember my old VS (toyota lexcen by badge) as a straight 6
