very nice......!!!!!
looking at fitting an inj version to a gu. what box are you running.?
had a mq with a very warm 351clevo in it a while ago how does the bb compare to your 351?
this will be a streeter and a tow vehicle so no 4x4 except beach work.

thanks mate
, that would be nice in your gu!! yeah i had a warm 351 in it b4 this engine but had alot of trouble with it, finally found out the problem after i brought this motor
im very happy with it & is a lot beter than the 351! i can tow another gq on a tanem & hardly notice it, it will clock the speedo with ease & every gear picks up the same. it also gets about 100klms more out of a tank than the 351!
the look on the guys face when you drag off his brand new SS or XR8 from the lights is PRICELESS lol...
but is abit scarey to drive in the wet
go the big block you wont look back!!

No problems with a 454 in a GQ as long as its on LPG
In NSW
Im just not sure about getting a Injected BBC to pass the emission
standards for either a GQ or GU
Your best bet will to go see your local engineer in QLD and listen
to what he suggest and do exactly that.
Yes the 454 will move a nissan patrol along very well and just think of
what a extra 3k of go fast parts will do if you get tired of a motor that
will smoke 35" in 1st 2nd 3rd in standard trim
= Hang the Fu%k on

what happend to the duramax shano to big and heavy? no to mention expensive
454

not at all, the duramax was my weapon of choice/preference
but the 454 was at the right price so it got the nod straight away
. just need to find a gu to stick it in before i get to keen and bolt it into the old bus.
