A ZD30

yeah bogged i hear they are awsome motors.... get even more power after about 100,000 kays dont they

Think you will need to give a bit more info alex

it depends on what you or your dad wants to do with the patrol.......

i think for good all round power and touqe id be going a fuel injected V8 but then if you dont want to worrie getting enginers certificate for V8 then go a patrol 6

but it still goes on what you want to do eg... rockcrawling , beach driving , playing in the mud , or touring................

well mainly we go down to the otways, mt cole and sand dunes

well at the moment its got a 350 chev in it

Dose it still work

dont kow how much cash he wanna spend and at the moment it has a 350 chev in it and the motor is just dying

Probably better if your father joined the forum and posted some detailed request for info.

Now, .....do you like ABBA?

yer the thing bout that is...that he doesnt really now wat to do on a computer which is sorta funny

He can get a spanking new crate chev 350 long block from around 3k

And just swap all the bits over.

Try eagle auto spares

yep i will let him know

thanks

Alex,



You stated that you don't know much about 'mechanic stuff' yet in your profile you state you are a mechanic.

Your dad's got a 350 Chev and he doesn't know what's better.

He can't come to the PC.

You also spell the word know, as no, now and know. Are you deliberately doing this?

yer i state mechanica because i wanna be one when im older and my dad doesnt know much bout computer

Maybe put student in your profile then. And speaking for experience, unless you want to get shafted by shitty work and poor pay, dont become a mechanic.

As for the poo-troll, weight up the cost of getting the SBC re-built Vs and engine swap. If the SBC is engineered/approved to be in the car, personally i would be keeping that. Re-build it, add some nice parts, and you have a pretty solid motor. There is so much available for these motors. Built properly, you will have plenty of hp under the skinny pedal.
Plus the sound
