ordering my lift kit for my swb, and need to know how much more a vn v8 weighs over the standard petrol 4.2 ? ???

to be honest i wouldnt expect much difference!
the tb's are one big lump of an engine, i put one(5.0l) in a gu(used to be tb45) and there was no height difference at all with my HD lovell 2 inch lift!
