if you look around you may find a few dozen threads where people have done V8 conversions, and all your answers maybe there.. Your not creating the wheel.

Yeah the search kinda sucks for some things,
Try typing "V8 and Patrol" or "V8 and Conversion" sometimes
helps for me.

It does. You can also try something like: http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q ... its4x4.com

I don't think you'll find that many people who put a 308 in and are all that happy with the outcome vs the hassle.

Yeah you'd be better off turboing the RB30 than going to all the hassle and only fitting a 308.

have a read of nuttergq 's build up ie turbo rb30 gq.

unless goin hi tech v8 ie vh45 or uz anything under 5.7l is a waist of time in N/A setup.

Everyones on the right track for a 308 to make the same power as a basic turbo setup on an RB30 you'll have to spend some serious money, do it once do it right.
