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

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.

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
