V8 into 03 dual cab

Post by 4wdphil »

Just wondering if any one has dropped in a V8 into a hilux 03 dual cab. I am thinking of doing this with an auto transmittion.
Does anyone know of anyone in geelong or melbourne who can do this conversion and do it legally as the car is set up for touring and the odd weekend out in the bush
Any info would be great
Thanks

What V8 are you thinking of running? Engine will have to be post '03 if you plan on running it on petrol.

thinking of a holden gen3
the reason for the conversion is that the 3lt turbo diesel just does not do the job of towing my camper. Plus it is very thirsty.
