Swap isnt to difficult. The borg is ok assuming it's not already rat shit.
Its when you start getting lockers that it will begin to be a real downfall.

Other then that if you change your mind, I got $400! :D

Just make sure you have a front drive shaft for a LT230 as the BW one is about 40mm longer. Also the linkage for the diff lock will be required or you could make up your own :cool:

Good luck with the build. 89 is a good vintage (that's what I have) although the 3.5 is a slug :bad-words: :bad-words:

Bloody hell, you can't whinge about that even if it needs some TLC. Some new parts and it's still far less than the new price :armsup:

Grimace, I didn't fully read the new post re-3.5 :finger: Still it technically a 90 model VIN number should read SALLHAM3GA somethinmg or rather :?
